Fatal attack in New Orleans: The whole shock of the nation!

New Orleans, USA - On New Year's Eve, a tragic terrorist attack shook the celebrations in New Orleans, in which more than a dozen people were killed and numerous others were injured. The 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen from Texas, raced into a celebrating crowd on the Bourbon Street with a pick-up truck and opened the fire before he died with the police. Investigators report that Jabbar before the act in several videos that he published on Facebook expressed his loyalty to the terrorist organization of Islamic State (IS) and that he had a flag of the group. Thanks to the police published by the police, it was found that Jabbar had been in the city weeks before the attack and took pictures with smart glasses, which makes attack planning suspicious, as MSNBC reported.

According to the new results of the investigation, Jabbar visited New Orleans at least twice in October to explore the area. This was done with inconspicuous smart glasses that made it possible for him to film freely. According to investigators, he also wore the glasses during the attack, but it was not activated at that time. Before that, Jabbar had also made trips to Egypt and Canada, whereby the exact connections between these trips and the terrorist attack are still unclear. He was described as an IT specialist at the army and most recently as a real estate agent, but he apparently suffered from personal problems, including financial difficulties and a failed marriage in 2022, as krone.at

President Joe Biden announced that they will visit New Orleans to meet the relatives of the victims. Improvised memorials were built on the Bourbon Street in the city to commemorate the tragedy. This attack has caused horror in the USA and internationally, and it is feared that the threat from IS will continue to exist.
