President Joe Biden said suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar posted a video before the New Orleans New Year attack indicating he was inspired by Islamic State group.
A man driving a pickup truck sped through a crowd of pedestrians in New Orleans’ bustling French Quarter early on New Year’s Day, killing at least 15 people and injuring 30 others.
In a statement released by the White House, President Biden said: “He posted videos on social media indicating that it is inspired by ISIS, expressing a desire to kill.”
Biden said an ISIS flag was found in his vehicle.
