In a shocking act of terror, at least ten people lost their lives in the French Quarter of New Orleans early Wednesday morning due to a coordinated assault involving explosives and gunfire. Law enforcement is currently conducting a federal manhunt for four suspects believed to have planted explosives before the attack. The primary assailant, identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, was killed during a standoff with police, who found improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and an ISIS flag in his vehicle. Additional explosives were also discovered in the French Quarter. This incident marks one of the most meticulously planned domestic terrorist attacks in recent memory and is thought to be linked to a wider network. In the wake of the incident, security measures have been intensified, and the investigation has expanded to Houston, where Jabbar had ties. The atmosphere in the French Quarter is tense, with businesses closed and community leaders condemning the violence. President Biden has pledged to provide comprehensive support for the ongoing investigation.
