US President Joe Biden said that the country will relentlessly pursue ISIS and other terrorist organisations following the terrorist attack in New Orleans where Shamsud-Din Jabba- an ISIS supporter- drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, killing 15 people and injuring dozens more.
“We are going to relentlessly pursue ISIS and other terrorist organisations where they are and they will find no safe husher here,” Joe Biden assured Americans.
He informed, “The number of people killed in New Orleans has risen to 15, including the attacker, 35 people were injured. Today the FBI briefed me that as of now, we have no information that anyone else is involved in the attack. They’ve established that the attacker was the same person who planted the explosives in those ice coolers in two nearby locations in the French Quarter just a few hours before he rammed into the crowd with his vehicle.”

Shamsud Din Jabbar indicated his support for the terrorist organisations in the videos he made, Joe Biden said, adding, “As I said yesterday, the attacker posted several videos just several hours before the attack indicating his strong support for ISIS. Federal law enforcement and the intelligence community are actively investigating any foreign or domestic contacts and connections that could possibly be relevant to the attack.”
On the possible connection between the New Orleans attack and the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion, Joe Biden said that the investigation is still going on but no evidence of such a connection has been found so far.
