After the New Year’s Eve massacre in New Orleans, US authorities are alerting agents across the country to prevent new attacks

The FBI, in cooperation with the US Department of Homeland Security, has issued an alert for possible attacks similar to the one that occurred on New Year’s Eve in New Orleans, where Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck into a crowd, killing 14 people. The warning, quoted by Fox News, was addressed to some 18,000 police officers nationwide, with a call to remain extremely vigilant. Authorities fear possible emulation of this tragic attack, although there are no specific threats currently reported.

Despite the concern, the American broadcaster made it clear that such warnings are common practice after attacks of this magnitude and are primarily intended to make the population and security forces aware of the need to remain alert.
