Biden says New Orleans attacker had a "remote detonator" for explosives in the French Quarter.

On Thursday, President Biden stated that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the attacker in New Orleans, acted alone and planted explosives in coolers in two nearby locations in the French Quarter. Just hours before, Jabbar drove a pickup truck at a high speed into a crowd on Bourbon Street, causing harm.

"During a news conference about his administration's 235 judicial confirmations, Biden stated that there was no evidence of anyone else's involvement in the attack. The authorities had determined that the attacker was the same person who planted the explosives in two nearby locations in the French Quarter, just hours before he rammed into the crowd with his vehicle. The assessment was made that the attacker had a remote detonator in his vehicle to set off those two ice chests."

Biden urged federal agents to accelerate their investigation into potential links to the Las Vegas explosion, which was also being probed as a terror attack, after fourteen people were killed and Jabbar died in a shootout with police.

"Biden stated that they have not discovered any evidence linking the two events yet, but he instructed them to continue searching."

The FBI stated that they have no information about Jabbar before the attack, and although he claims to have been inspired by ISIS, no evidence has been found to suggest he was directed by the group.

On Wednesday, 37 victims were treated at New Orleans hospitals after being injured in an attack. LCMC Health has not disclosed how many of the injured have been discharged or the condition of those who remain hospitalized.

The Las Vegas suspect, identified by law enforcement as Matthew Livelsberger, was being investigated by authorities for a potential military connection with Jabbar.

"The FBI is investigating the Las Vegas shooting and is following up on all leads, but there is currently no definitive link between the attack in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas, said FBI Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterterrorism Division Christopher Raia on Thursday."

Jabbar, a native of the U.S. born in Texas, had previously served in the military. The investigation into how and when he became radicalized is ongoing.
