The FBI is actively investigating the New Orleans crowd attack incident to determine if anyone collaborated with the suspect in placing potential improvised explosive devices (IEDs) around the French Quarter. Sources familiar with the investigation revealed that these devices were discovered near the site of the attack, in addition to those found in the suspect's pickup truck.
During a news conference on Wednesday, the FBI disclosed that they do not believe the suspect acted alone, as weapons and possible IEDs were recovered from the vehicle. Bomb technicians are currently assessing the viability of the devices found in the French Quarter and working to render them safe. FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Alethea Duncan, confirmed that two IEDs have been located and neutralized.
