We strongly condemn the cowardly terrorist attack in New Orleans: Prime Minister

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday condemned the truck attack in New Orleans, United States, which claimed 15 lives and left dozens injured. “We strongly condemn the cowardly terrorist attack in New Orleans. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. May they find strength and solace as they heal from this tragedy,” he wrote on X.

The incident occurred on Wednesday when a US army veteran, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, drove a rented pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers. The attacker, a 42-year-old Texas-based real estate agent and former military IT specialist, carried an Islamic State flag during the attack.

The FBI is investigating the tragedy as a potential act of domestic terrorism. This horrifying act has prompted widespread condemnation and an outpouring of support for the victims and their families. The international community stands united against such senseless violence.
