Following the New Orleans vehicle-ramming attack, US intelligence agencies are on alert for potential copycat incidents, citing the ease of executing such attacks.
The recent incident underscores a serious security gap in urban areas, with historical warnings suggesting Bourbon Street was particularly vulnerable to vehicle ramming, as evidenced by the 2019 report.
Authorities have noted a continuing risk where attackers employ vehicles in crowded settings, emphasizing a need for improved security measures, like reinforced barriers to prevent these tragic events.
Experts stress that the combination of low skill required and the accessibility of vehicles make ramming attacks increasingly appealing to those looking to inflict harm.
