Law enforcement officials are hunting for suspects connected to a New Year’s terror attack in New Orleans that killed 10 and injured 30. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, identified as the attacker, carried out a vehicle and shooting assault before investigators uncovered a broader plot.

Gov. Jeff Landry confirmed during a press conference that law enforcement is pursuing multiple suspects, describing them as “bad people.” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) added that the FBI is “in the process of trying to catch the other bad guys.”
Jabbar’s ex-wife’s home was searched by federal agents. Her current husband reported that Jabbar’s behavior became erratic during his conversion to Islam, raising questions about his ties to extremist groups.
