A US army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, intentionally drove a pickup truck into New Year revelers in New Orleans, killing 15 people and wounding dozens.
Authorities suspect terrorism, citing an Islamic State flag found in Jabbar's vehicle and his online posts indicating ISIS inspiration.
Jabbar, a former military IT specialist who served in Afghanistan, was killed in a shootout with police after the attack, and two homemade bombs were neutralized.
The FBI is actively searching for accomplices, stating they do not believe Jabbar acted alone in the "despicable" attack.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
