The driver behind the New Year’s attack in New Orleans acted alone, an FBI official said today. The driver was identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a Texas-born U.S. citizen and Army veteran.

A potential improvised explosive device was in the truck he was driving, and other potential IEDs were discovered in the French Quarter, the FBI said.

Jabbar posted several videos prior to the attack to an online platform “proclaiming his support for ISIS,” said Chris Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division.

Raia said today that there is “no definitive link” between the New Orleans attack and the explosion in a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
