PORTSMOUTH (UK): At 3:15 am on New Year's Day, a 42-year-old US citizen and army veteran from Texas called Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a rented pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 15 people and injuring at least 35 more.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) called the attack an "act of terrorism" and said that Jabbar appeared to have been motivated by the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organisation. The group's infamous black flag was recovered from the back of his vehicle, and he had posted videos online proclaiming his support for IS.
