An FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge has been reassigned following a misstep in labeling the New Orleans attack as not a terrorist event. The incident, which occurred on New Year's Day, involved a man driving a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, resulting in 14 fatalities and numerous injuries.
The agent, Alethea Duncan, initially stated during a press conference that the attack was not terrorism. However, subsequent statements from the FBI, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and President Biden all classified the event as an act of terrorism.
