News of American attack: The new year in America has started with a bloody terrorist attack. On New Year’s Day in New Orleans, Louisiana, a terrorist drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people celebrating at 3:30 a.m., killing 15 and injuring more than 30, according to the mayor. Went. The pick-up truck stopped then he came out and attacked the people with an automatic machine gun. He also attacked the police who stopped him and the police retaliated and killed him. Thus, this terrorist attack occurred before Trump took office on the 20th.
It is believed that the attacker is associated with Islamic State. The driver of a pickup truck who opened fire after plowing into people was killed in a shootout with police, the FBI said. Two police officers were also shot, but their condition is stable. At a press conference, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell called the attack a terrorist attack, and the police chief said it was a deliberate act.
Police Commissioner Enkirk Patrick said that the driver of the pickup truck had come with the intention of killing people and when he was not satisfied with the stuff loaded in the truck, he left with a machine gun. He did the damage he had to do. He wanted to trample and gun down as many people as possible.
FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan said officers were investigating the scene and found a suspicious object, believed to be an improvised explosive device, at the scene. This entire area is one of the famous areas for New Year celebrations. A witness told CNN that he saw a truck speeding past, blowing pedestrians across the street.
A person who was hit by the truck jumped out and came in front of me. After this the sounds of bullets started coming. The city’s emergency preparedness department said the injured were taken to five hospitals. President Joe Biden was briefed at the White House and the Justice Department said Attorney General Merrick Garland also was briefed on the incident. This attack is another example of how vehicles are now being used for attacks.

More than 150 bombs found in raid in Virginia, America
Federal agents in America are surprised to find a large quantity of homemade explosives. A Virginia man was arrested on weapons charges last month. Agents raided his home and seized the largest-ever cache of homemade weapons, said the government lawyer who filed the case in court.
When investigators raided Brad Spafford in northwest Norfolk in December, they found more than 150 pipe bombs and other homemade explosives. Prosecutors said it was the largest amount ever found in a raid on a US home in FBI history. A raid on a home in White County found most of the bombs in a detached garage outside the home. He was also carrying various equipment and bomb-making materials, including fuses and various pieces of plastic pipe.
Prosecutors wrote in court filings that several additional pipe bombs found in a back bedroom of the home were completely unsecured. The accused lived in this house with his wife and two small children. Spafford, 36, was charged with possession of a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act. FBI officials alleged that he had an unregistered short-barreled rifle. Now after finding a huge amount of weapons from there, many other charges may be faced against them.
