New Orleans Attacker Had Remote Device for Explosives in Vehicle: Biden 

On Thursday, President Joe Biden revealed that the individual responsible for the attack in New Orleans possessed a remote device in his truck meant to activate Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) he had hidden in ice coolers in the French Quarter prior to crashing his car into a crowd on Bourbon Street. 


According to CNN, the FBI has successfully retrieved the two IEDs that the assailant, Shamsud Din Jabbar, had concealed in the coolers. 


"They have confirmed that the attacker is the same individual who placed explosives in those ice chests at two locations in the French Quarter just hours before he drove into the crowd with his vehicle. They concluded that he had a remote device in his truck to trigger those two coolers," Biden explained. 


Biden also mentioned to reporters in the East Room of the White House that he plans to visit New Orleans, as reported by CNN. 


In the meantime, the President stated that the violent incident in New Orleans on New Year’s Eve resulted in the deaths of 15 people, including the assailant. 


The FBI has determined that the perpetrator, who committed this "act of terrorism," was affiliated with ISIS. An ISIS flag was discovered in his truck, and he confessed his allegiance in several videos he shared online. 

Biden affirmed that the US will unwaveringly pursue ISIS and other terrorist groups. "We will continue to relentlessly seek out ISIS and other terrorist organizations wherever they may be, and they will find no safe haven here," he stated. 


Additionally, regarding a potential link between the New Orleans attack and the explosion of a Cybertruck in Las Vegas, Biden indicated that the investigation is ongoing, but so far, there is no evidence establishing a connection. 


A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, resulting in one death and seven injuries. The vehicles involved in both incidents were rented from the car-sharing platform 'Turo,' leading officials to investigate any possible ties between the two occurrences, according to CNN.

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
