At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured in New Orleans on New Year's Day (Jan 1) after a man ploughed his truck into a crowd in the city’s French Quarter. The suspect, who was later killed in a shootout with the police, has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar - a US citizen and army veteran. Authorities are looking into into possible links to terrorist organisations after they found an Islamic State flag, weapons and a potential explosive device in his truck. https://cna.asia/41Wzw95 Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Subscribe to our news service for must-read stories: Telegram - https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp - https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/channelnewsasia TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
