FBI Doesn't Believe New Orleans Driver Acted Alone

This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act,

said Christopher Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division

The City of New Orleans is not only ready for gameday today, but we’re ready to continue to host large-scale events in our city because we are built to host at every single turn,

said Cantrall

Bodies, bodies all up and down the street, everybody screaming and hollering,

said Parsons, whose friend Nikyra Dedeaux was among the dead

With the Biden ‘Open Border’s Policy’ I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe,

Trump wrote on his website, Truth Social

It’s completely contradictory to who he was and how his family and his friends know him,

he said

While we cannot comment on individual users' activities, when contacted by law enforcement agencies we cooperate and work closely with them to assist with their investigations.

This type of event can happen in any city, and that's the tragedy of it."

During a press conference on Thursday, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry spoke further about the incident, saying

Right now, this is one of the safest places on earth. That doesn't mean that nothing can't happen...Today, we're going to have us a Sugar Bowl, we're going to enjoy ourselves, we're going to keep those who have lost loved ones in mind, and get into the business of this city and this great country,

Landry said

We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible.”

A day prior, Alethea Duncan, the assistant special agent in charge of the New Orleans FBI bureau, told reporters

Whether you know Jabbar personally, worked with him, served in the military or saw him in New Orleans or Texas, we need to talk to you,

Raia said

Investigators believe Jabbar picked up the rented F-150 in Houston, Texas, on December 30,

Raia said

We’ve had 24 hours now to go through media, to go through phones, to interview people, to analyse those videos, analyse other databases,

Raia said

Safety continues to be our top priority,

Cantrell said, noting

No one does a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle and puts it together in five seconds,

he told reporters

A lot of the early reports came out that there were extra people that were setting the coolers down,

he said

I want to reassure the public that the city of New Orleans is not only ready for game day today,

she said

That's the stuff in the coming days, as far as that path to radicalisation, that we're really going to be digging into and making a priority of,

he said

At this point, there is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas."

Raia said

We believe we can absolutely provide a safe and wonderful environment today, and hold the Super Bowl and all of our activities,

New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said

There were bodies and blood and all the trash,
