The FBI now says that the pickup truck driver responsible for a deadly rampage in New Orleans acted alone, reversing its position from a day earlier that he likely worked with others.

Summary

A U.S. Army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, killed 15 people and injured dozens in New Orleans by driving a truck into New Year’s revelers, inspired by the Islamic State group.

The FBI is investigating the attack as a terrorist act, finding videos posted by Jabbar expressing support for the Islamic State group and explosive devices in the vehicle and around the city.

Jabbar, a former Afghanistan veteran, was killed by police after opening fire.

    You can tell the narrative government push by just reading the titles of these news agency.

    Er, wait, let me check if I understand correctly… you’re accusing the US government of pushing a non-warmongering narrative? a narrative that does not encourage increased US presence in the Middle East and instead seeks to de-escalate the possible response to this incident? … and you’re … complaining about that?

    You’re either so deep into conspiracy theory nonsense that you just see government conspiracy everywhere, or you’re a warmongering nut who wants the government to push escalatory terrorist-threat narratives at every opportunity.
