Christopher Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division stated, 'This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act,' emphasizing Jabbar's complete ideological inspiration from the Islamic State.
According to FBI officials, 'The attack killed 14 revelers, along with Jabbar, who was fatally shot in a firefight with police,' illustrating the devastating outcome of the assault on innocent victims in New Orleans.
Raia highlighted concerns over rising terrorism threats, declaring, 'It was the deadliest IS-inspired assault on U.S. soil in years,' indicating a significant shift towards increasingly severe acts of violence.
Despite initial speculation of broader collaboration, Raia confirmed, 'There was no indication of a connection between the New Orleans attack and a Tesla Cybertruck explosion,' aiming to reassure the public regarding national safety.
