Who is Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the New Orleans truck attack suspect?

The suspect in the car-ramming attack in New Orleans has been identified as a US military veteran from Texas.

At least 15 people have been killed and dozens wounded after a man, identified by the FBI as a United States military veteran, ploughed a pick-up truck into a crowd of New Year’s revellers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, the United States.

The suspect, who has since been killed in a police shootout, has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen from the state of Texas.

The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of “terrorism” and said it does not believe the driver acted alone in the attack on one of the country’s top tourist destinations.

US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that the FBI had informed him that the suspect had posted videos on social media indicating that he was inspired by the ISIS (ISIL) armed group, expressing “a desire to kill”.

Here’s what we know about the incident, the suspect, and the latest on the ground.
