Authorities revealed they now believe suspect Shamsud-Dim Jabbar acted alone in the New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States has released further information about the deadly New Year’s Day car-ramming incident in New Orleans, offering a brief timeline of how the suspect executed his attack.
In a news conference on Thursday, Christopher Raia, a deputy assistant director from the FBI’s counterterrorism division, also clarified that only one suspect is currently implicated in the attack: 42-year-old Texas resident Shamsud-Dim Jabbar.
“We do not assess at this point that anyone else is involved in this attack except for Shamsud-Dim Jabbar,” Raia said.
Though he emphasised the investigation was still in its early stages, he added, “We’re confident at this point that there are no accomplices.”
The news briefing took place just over a day after Jabbar allegedly drove a rented Ford F-150 pickup truck into the holiday crowds celebrating on Bourbon Street, a centre for tourism and nightlife in New Orleans.
