A man drove a truck into New Year revellers in New Orleans, killing 15 and injuring dozens. The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran, posted ISIS-inspired videos hours before the attack. Police shot him dead after he opened fire. Explosives were found in the truck and nearby. President Biden called the act "despicable" and assured a thorough investigation. The attack caused chaos on Bourbon Street, delaying a football game. Authorities are probing Jabbar's possible links to others. In a separate incident, a Cybertruck exploded in Las Vegas, but links between the two events are unconfirmed.
