Summary
Authorities identified Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, as the suspect in the New Orleans truck ramming attack that killed 10 people and injured 35 on New Year’s Day.
Jabbar, who died in a shootout with police, allegedly drove a truck with a black flag possibly linked to ISIS. The FBI is investigating the attack as a potential terrorist act.
Weapons and suspected explosive devices were found in Jabbar’s vehicle and near the scene.
Officials are also investigating reports that Jabbar fired a rifle into the crowd and whether IEDs near the site were operational.
We had a similar attack in Germany a couple of weeks ago. Every time something like this happens people call for more security. But it’s a media thing, we talk a lot about these acts of terrorism but far less about stuff that happens daily and we’re used to. That’s why I share this list I collected over the past years. What are we afraid of?
