Bidens honor terror attack victims in New Orleans

President Joe Biden and his wife on Monday visited Bourbon Street to honor the victims of a New Year's truck-ramming attack that killed 14 people in New Orleans.

They met with survivors, relatives of the dead, and law enforcement impacted by the attack.

Biden has requested "additional federal resources to help the city of New Orleans prepare for upcoming major events," the White House spokeswoman said Monday aboard Air Force One en route to New Orleans.

The New Year's Day attack remains under investigation by the FBI, which declared it an "act of terrorism." Jabbar, a US army veteran who died in a police shootout after the attack, had expressed his support for the Islamic State jihadist group on social media.
