A black flag was also found in the attacker's truck, which is believed to be the flag of ISIS. According to the police, the incident took place at around 3:15 am local time in the middle of the French Quarter, where there was a crowd of people celebrating the New Year.

The attacker was in debt

Shamsud Deen worked at Jabbar's renowned accounting firm Deloitte, where he reportedly earned an annual salary of $120,000. However, despite the good salary, Jabbar was facing financial turmoil in his life, which increased further during his second divorce in 2012.

According to the New York Post report, Jabbar, who has an IT and military background, was heavily in debt. In an email sent to his ex-wife's lawyer, Jabbar admitted that he owed more than $27 billion in house dues and said that he was at risk of foreclosure (legal action over the land).
