A tragic event occurred during New Orleans’ New Year’s celebrations when a US Army veteran was operating a pickup truck flying the Islamic State terrorist group’s banner. Before being shot by police, he killed fifteen people when he drove into a crowd and around a police roadblock.

It is ‘despicable’, according to Biden. US President Joe Biden sympathized with the victims and their families and referred to the incident as “despicable.” “I want you to know I grieve with you,” he added, speaking to the country from Camp David.

As you grieve and recover, our country is with you. Biden acknowledged that the driver shared social media videos citing the Islamic State organization as an influence.

“The FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he was inspired by ISIS, especially a desire to kill,” Biden stated.

He continued, “The Isis flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to conduct this attack.” The driver had more IEDs and was driving a rented Ford pickup vehicle.

Earlier that day, his Airbnb burned down, just 1.5 miles from the scene of the attack. The FBI is still looking into this.

Additionally, Joe Biden stated that investigators were looking into “any possible connection” between the explosion of a Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas and a fatal truck-ramming attack in New Orleans.

Initial reports suggested that the car might have crossed the border from Mexico until police verified that the driver was an American citizen and Army veteran.

In a social media post, US President-elect Donald Trump implied that his criticism of foreigners entering the nation illegally had been confirmed.

“When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true,” Trump said on the Truth Social website.
