New Orleans Attack Suspect Identified: US Army Veteran Raised ISIS Flag
Shamsud Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen, is the suspected perpetrator of a vehicle ramming attack in New Orleans that resulted in ten fatalities and at least 35 injuries. Jabbar, who is deceased, allegedly drove a pickup truck with a black flag attached into a crowd of New Year’s revelers. Authorities are investigating potential links between the flag and ISIS, as well as two possible improvised explosive devices found nearby. The investigation also includes exploring whether Jabbar used a long gun in addition to the vehicle.
