Federal agents investigating the deadly attack say the perpetrator traveled to Cairo, Eygpt, in the summer of 2023 and to New Orleans in the fall.

New Orleans city leaders were warned in a 2019 confidential physical security assessment that Bourbon Street was vulnerable to a vehicle-ramming attack.

Bourbon Street reopened on Thursday to a light crowd as tourists and locals veered away from the world-famous destination after an attacker plowed through crowds of revealers, killing more than a dozen people on New Year’s Day.
