Officials in New Orleans postponed the Sugar Bowl as investigators said they were seeking possible connections between terrorist organizations and the 42-year-old Texas man who rammed a pickup into revelers on Bourbon Street. The attack in the early hours of New Year’s Day killed at least 10 people and injured about 35 others, officials said.
The suspect, a U.S. Army veteran who died in a shootout with police officers, was identified by the F.B.I. as Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, a U.S. citizen. The truck carried an Islamic State flag, weapons and a “potential” improvised explosive, the agency said, adding that other potential bombs were also found in the French Quarter.
