The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly warned law enforcement agencies across the country about the possibility of similar attacks following the incident in New Orleans on January 1, in which 15 people, including the attacker, were killed. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN WARNEDAccording to CBS News, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center issued a warning bulletin for law enforcement agencies nationwide after the attack in New Orleans. The bulletin cautioned about the possibility of a similar attack occurring. The bulletin stated that the "skill threshold" required to carry out an attack similar to the one in New Orleans is low, and that the vehicle-based attack plan "will continue to be attractive to eager attackers." "TAKE TIPS SERIOUSLY"The bulletin called for vigilance against cases such as inconsistencies in the reasons for renting vehicles and refusal to answer questions about the rental purpose, emphasizing that tips regarding rental vehicles parked for extended periods near "sensitive facilities" should be taken seriously. Meanwhile, a statement from the White House indicated that President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit New Orleans, where the attack occurred, on January 6. 14 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, 35 INJUREDIt was reported that 14 people were killed and 35 were injured when a vehicle rapidly drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during the early hours of the new year. The attacker, who was killed in a confrontation with police at the scene, was identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and former soldier from Texas.
