New Orleans Terror
The Statesman Siliguri|January 04, 2025
The New Year's Eve attack in New Orleans, when an US Army veteran drove a truck into a crowd of revellers, has shaken America and raised difficult questions about the rising threat of ISIS-inspired violence in everyday spaces.

This deadly incident, which killed 15 people and injured dozens more, has exposed the vulnerabilities of public safety measures and the growing dangers posed by individuals radicalised by violent ideologies.

While the details of the attack are still under investigation, it is clear that this was an act of terrorism, driven by a twisted sense of purpose that mirrors the tactics used by ISIS and other extremist groups worldwide.

What is particularly unsettling about this attack is the methodical and premeditated nature of the violence.

The driver, having expressed his allegiance to ISIS hours before the attack, steered around a police blockade to carry out the assault, adding to the horror of the scene.
