An alleged member of the Islamic State is being questioned in Iraq after officials in that country accused him of playing a role in inciting the deadly New Year's Day terror attack in New Orleans.
However, U.S. officials say they have not established a direct link between the suspect in Iraq and 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the U.S. citizen from Texas who drove his truck through a crowd of revelers for several blocks on Bourbon Street, killing 14 people.
Din Jabbar flew the black and white ISIS flag on the back of the truck when he carried out the attack, but ISIS never officially took responsibility for the attack.
