President Joe Biden on Wednesday confirmed that the perpetrator of a New Orleans, La., terrorist attack on New Year's Eve identified ISIS as his inspiration for the rampage.
Authorities identified Shamsud Din Jabbar as the culprit in the mass killing that saw 10 dead and dozens more injured. The president further confirmed the attacker was a veteran of the U.S. Army and a citizen who expressed support for the Islamic State.
"The FBI is leading the investigation to determine what happened, why it happened, whether it was any continuing threat to public safety," he said. "Here's what we know. So far, the FBI has reported to me the killer was an American citizen, born in Texas. He served in the United States Army on active duty for many years."
"He also served in the Army Reserve, until a few years ago, the FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he was inspired by ISIS, expressing a desire to kill, desire to kill," he added. "The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to conduct this attack."
"Possible explosives were found in the vehicle as well, and more explosives were near. Were found nearby. The situation is very fluid, and the investigation has a preliminary stage," he continued.
He further confirmed that authorities were monitoring the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, but that any link between the two incidents was unconfirmed.

I tell ya...Biden’s on the job people....
Fox News woman said Biden was almost excited to say the suspect was born and lived in America, as if letting himself off the hook for the illegals controversy.
I thought the mumbling, slurring Biden was “sharp as a tack” and “able to run circles around all the aides and cabinet members” as Morning Joe contended——not.
Gee thanks. That ISIS flag he was carrying didn’t tell us much.
Where is the terrorist’s daddy from?
What was the terrorist doing in Mehico 2 days prior to this?
I don’t think they know that he was in Mexico; just that the vehicle was seen crossing the border.
This passes as leadership
Ya whoever is speaking for Biden. We know.
Has anyone heard what ethnicity he was? He looks African American in the photos I’ve seen, or he could be the son of a recent African immigrant.
He might be a AA convert to Islam.
I thought the truck was rented in Texas. So two days prior this same truck is seen entering the U.S. from Mexico. Thanks.
Why is the flag upside down?

Why was the flag not actually flown during the attack, in all the images it is wrapped tight around the flagpole:

How long was the guy communicating online with FBI informants or undercovers???
I believe, children, that this is what is called a “sleeper.”
Well. Not sure what “support for ISIS” means - maybe he likes the CIA?
Potato has no clue.
I’ve read that it was a rented vehicle. Picked up from TURO (Trucks U Rent Online).
I wish I could bring back Jimmy Hatlo old cartoon ‘Thanks and a tip O’ the hat’ for this with one he’d design, because between Obama and Biden that is the scoop.
I think a lot of people travel legitimately between the US and Mexico in Eagle Pass. The person who owns the truck may have been driving it when it was tracked.
He doesn’t look AA to me. More like one of the Arab ethnic groups or Indian/Pakistani.
Do they know where he picked it up? Houston? Maybe it was delivered to him.
Thanks. By the way, it’s allegedly the same app used by the Las Vegas suspect, at the Trump hotel. Thanks.
Whoop...Btw, just now heard a person from Houston rented the vehicle to the suspect. Thanks again.
