ROME (ITALPRESS) – The toll of the massacre in New Orleans, where a pickup truck crashed into a crowd on Bourbon Street yesterday at 3:15 a.m. (local time), is worsening: there are at least 15 confirmed victims, including the bomber, who has been identified as a U.S. citizen named Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, from Texas, a former U.S. Army soldier. In a brief message from Camp David, President Joe Biden expressed condolences to the families of the victims and explained that “the perpetrator of the massacre was inspired by Isis” and that “at this time” there is no connection between the New Orleans bombing and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas in front of the Trump International Hotel that killed one person and injured seven others.
FBI investigators are convinced that the bomber did not act alone and that the attack involved multiple people. Biden pointed out that Shamsud-Din Jabbar allegedly “uploaded videos to social media prior to the attack.”
