First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point. This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act. But at this point, currently, and this is another position on another fact I want to be clear on, we do not assess at this point that anyone else involved in this attack is involved in this attack except for shamsu Din Jabbar, the subject you've already been briefed on.

But at this point, currently, and this is another position on another fact I want to be clear on, we do not assess at this point that anyone else involved in this attack is involved in this attack except for shamsu Din Jabbar, the subject you've already been briefed on.

Initially, authorities suspected that shamsu Din Jabbar had accomplices to orchestrate the attack. Jabbar, who was shot killed by police after firing on officers, steered a rented truck around a police blockade and onto the sidewalk early Wednesday morning, plowing into pedestrians celebrating on Bourbon Street. The rampage turned the festive area of the French Quarter into a scene of devastation, with victims left bloodied and mangled and others scrambling for safety. The FBI has labeled the attack a premeditated act of terrorism, saying Jabbar was one hundred percent inspired by the Islamic State group. Investigators found an Islamic State flag on the truck and discovered multiple improvised explosives, including remote detonated pipe bombs hidden in Cooler's. Authorities are also reviewing five videos Jabbar posted on Facebook in the hours before the attack, in which he pledged his support for the extremist group and hinted at the violence he would soon unleash. In the past, he'd also posted about himself on YouTube. Here's a video that was uploaded back in twenty nineteen.

Jabbar, who served in the US Army from twenty seven to twenty twenty, had rented the truck in Houston on December thirtieth and drove it to New Orleans the following night. Investigators are now focused on understanding how Jabbar became radicalized and what led him to carry out the deadly attack. Reports say he originally wanted to annihilate his family and friends to lure them to a celebration where he'd kill them, but Jabbar changed his mind because he was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the quote believers and the disbelievers end quote. New Orleans officials say that mechanical barricades and bullards on Bourbon Street were not functioning and were being replaced ahead of the Super Bowl in February. In their place, police cars and other barriers were placed at parts of Bourbon Street, but the attacker drove onto the sidewalk to evade the barriers and slam into crowds of people. Bourbon Street was closed off for hours as authorities processed the horrific crime scene, which was littered with bodies and debris. The area has now been cleared and businesses have resumed operations. The attack also led to the postponement of the Sugar Bowl at the nearby super Dome, but that will now be played. Some of the victims' names are also now being released. They are Martin tiger Bech twenty eight of former Princeton University football player, Nikira Dido, eighteen year old aspiring nurse, Reggie Hunter, a thirty seven year old father of two, Nicole Perez twenty seven, a single mom, Hubert Gotrou twenty one, Matthew Tendorio twenty five, an audio visual technician for the Superdome, Kareem Badawi, a student at the University of Alabama, and Drew Dauphin, a twenty twenty three graduate of Auburn University in Alabama. Dozens more were injured in the attack and hospitalized. In the meantime. Officials ask if you have any information or video that can help in this investigation. They urge you to call one eight hundred call FBI.

I'm Nicole Parton. An update on a missing toddler we brought to you earlier. In Fayette County, Alabama. New court documents released on Tuesday shed light on the serious charges facing Wendy Pamelap Bailey of a missing toddler. These documents allege that Bailey failed to report known instances of child abuse inflicted upon her fifteen month old son, Caleb Collins, this by his father, Stephen Bailey Collins in July twenty four. The filings claimed that Bailey exhibited a blatant disregard for Caleb's safety, neglecting to intervene during two separate instances of severe abuse, which involved methods such as binding him with rope and physically assaulting him, leaving visible injuries. The documents indicate that there is photographic evidence to support these allegations. Other charges include abuse of corpse. The documents describe how Caleb's remains were handled in a manner deemed shocking to social norms following his death. His body was reportedly placed in a bag and stored in an outdoor shed for a period of time before being disposed in an undisclosed location. Additionally, the court record's detailed incidents involving domestic violence, including a concerning text from Stephen Collins to Bailey in which he threatened to kill Caleb. This was accompanied by disturbing photographs of the child, showing him hanging from a rope and displaying blood on his body. Reportedly, Collin's messages included apologies and indications of the child's condition, to which Bailey responded with remarks suggesting she believed Caleb was merely tired and hurt. As the investigation continues, The Sheriff's office has been actively searching for Caleb for three weeks, with officials believing the boy is dead when de Bailey is currently in custody facing multiple charges, including those abusive corpse charges, aggravated child abuse charges, and others. Her father, John Bailey, is also being held at the Fayette County Jail on a one hundred thousand dollars bond for failing to report his grandson's disappearance. The child's father was killed in a traffic accident along with the child's toddler's sister.
