'Cowardly': PM Modi condemns New Orleans terrorist attack that killed 15

| @indiablooms | Jan 02, 2025, at 09:07 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday condemned the terrorist attack in New Orleans, which left 15 people dead, and expressed condolence for the victims' families.

In a post on X, PM Modi wrote: "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."

At least 15 people died and 30 others were injured after a man drove a pickup truck on people intentionally in New Orleans city of the US during New Year celebration on Wednesday.

The incident occurred just days after a Saudi man rammed a car into a crowd at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg which left five people dead.

According to some sections of the media reports, the driver of the vehicle also fired at the crowd.

The FBI is investigating the incident as an act of terrorism since it does not believe the driver acted alone.

An Islamic State group flag was found on the vehicle's trailer hitch, it said.
