FBI now believes no one helped Jabbar in attack

The FBI delivered an update on an attack early Wednesday in which a U.S. Army veteran drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, killing 15 people. The driver had posted videos to social media hours before the carnage saying he was inspired by the Islamic State group and expressing a desire to kill, investigators said. The FBI identified the driver, who died in a shootout with police, as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas. The FBI on Wednesday said they believe Jabbar worked alone, revising earlier comments. Officials have not yet released the names of the 15 people killed in the attack, but their families and friends have started sharing their stories. About 30 people were injured.
