As death toll rises to 15, New Orleans terror attack one of the deadliest since 9/11

The terror attack in New Orleans was one of the deadliest on US soil since 9/11 after the death toll rose to 15 on Wednesday afternoon.

Five additional victims have died since it was announced that 10 people were killed when Shamsud Din Jabbar floored a rented F150 truck flying an ISIS flag through crowds on Bourbon Street, according to the FBI.

A June 12, 2016, ISIS-inspired massacre at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, killed 49, according to data from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Al-Qaeda killed more than 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.

FBI investigators believe Jabbar was also “not solely responsible.”

Several pipe bombs disguised as coolers were later located along Bourbon Street and had been wired to a remote detonator found in Jabbar’s truck, according to a Louisiana State Police intelligence bulletin obtained by the Associated Press.
