Pickup driver Shamsud-Din Jabbar kills 10, injures 30 in New Orleans terrorist attack; FBI investigating ties to extremism.

A terrorist attack in New Orleans resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals and injuries to more than 30 others on New Year’s Day.

The suspect, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, drove a pickup truck displaying an Islamic State flag into a crowd in the French Quarter.

Authorities discovered weapons and a possible explosive device in the vehicle and are investigating Jabbar’s connections to terrorist organisations.

He had a social media presence that suggested he was a military veteran, and U.S. Army officials are looking into his service history.

The incident occurred around 3:15 a.m. in a busy area filled with holiday festivities.

After exiting his vehicle and brandishing an assault rifle, Jabbar was confronted by police, who fatally shot him.

New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick condemned the attack, stating Jabbar aimed to cause maximum harm.

President Biden expressed condolences to the victims and their families, reaffirming a commitment to combat violence.

The injured were transported to various hospitals.

Officials have raised alarms about the potential for local attacks in light of the ongoing conflicts abroad.

This incident follows a worrying trend of vehicle attacks, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures at events.

The city was preparing for multiple New Year activities, including a significant football game later in the week.

Witnesses described chaotic scenes as the attack unfolded, with many confused about the nature of the sounds they heard.

Local authorities are contemplating improved security measures to prevent future incidents.

Florida’s Attorney General to replace Marco Rubio following his expected confirmation as Secretary of State

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Thursday his decision to appoint state Attorney General Ashley Moody to the U.S. Senate, pending Senator Marco Rubio’s expected confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State. Rubio, a two-term senator, is widely anticipated to step down after Trump’s inauguration, making way for Moody’s appointment.

Moody, who has served as Florida’s attorney general since 2019, has been a key political ally of DeSantis, often collaborating on high-profile legal challenges and conservative policy initiatives.

Her alignment with DeSantis on issues such as law enforcement support, immigration enforcement, and state autonomy has solidified her as a prominent figure in Florida’s political landscape.

DeSantis praised Moody’s qualifications and commitment to public service, stating she would bring a “principled, conservative voice” to Washington, D.C. Moody’s appointment would mark a continuation of the state’s GOP leadership in the Senate, reinforcing the Republican majority ahead of Trump’s administration taking office.

Rubio’s departure comes as Trump assembles a Cabinet filled with loyalists and prominent conservatives. His selection as Secretary of State underscores Trump’s focus on experienced political figures in key diplomatic roles.

Moody’s appointment to the Senate, if confirmed, would likely shape legislative debates on issues ranging from judicial reform to national security.
