A federal manhunt is currently underway for four suspects connected to a deadly attack in New Orleans, which has shaken the city and raised alarms about a possible larger terrorist network operating within the United States.
The primary suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, was killed in a shootout with law enforcement after a series of explosions rocked the city.
Jabbar, who was linked to ISIS, was found with a vehicle containing multiple IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and an ISIS flag. Authorities are investigating how he managed to plant explosives in the French Quarter before engaging in the deadly attack.
The explosions caused widespread panic and left several people injured, though Jabbar’s death ended the immediate threat.
Additional bombs were discovered in nearby areas of the French Quarter, prompting increased security measures. Local businesses in the historic district have closed as a precaution, and the community remains on edge.
Federal authorities have confirmed that the attack is one of the most coordinated domestic terrorist actions in recent memory. The investigation has now expanded to include Houston, where Jabbar had ties to known associates with extremist backgrounds.
President Biden has issued a statement offering full support for local and federal law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation, while leaders across the country have condemned the violence.
“We will not tolerate terrorism on our soil, and we will pursue justice for those responsible,” the President said.
Security experts warn that the attack may be part of a broader plot, and officials are urging the public to remain vigilant as the investigation continues.
