• The New Year’s Day attacker in New Orleans acted alone, the FBI said Thursday, describing the deadly event as “an act of terrorism.” Fourteen people were killed and dozens injured when the man plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street in a pickup truck. Here’s a visual timeline of the attack.
• President Joe Biden, citing the FBI, said the driver also planted explosives in ice coolers in the French Quarter just hours before the attack. “They assessed he had a remote detonator in his vehicle to set off those two ice chests,” he said.
• The man, who was killed in a firefight with police, was identified as an Army veteran from Texas and had an ISIS flag in his truck. He said in videos made before the attack that he had joined ISIS. The White House has seen no evidence of foreign direction or involvement in the attack, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
• There is no definitive connection right now between the attack in New Orleans and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside a Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, the FBI said.
