10 dead, dozens wounded in terrorist attack in New Orleans

 Information is still sparse, so I won't speculate on whether this was a homegrown attack or had some international roots.  I have my suspicions, but  I'm not going to give vent to them until there is more information out there.  


Some already have done so already, with their priorites/actions saying a LOT - at 8 a.m. AZ time, NBC, CBS, and ABC were covering this with special reports; Fox was covering the lawsuit by Justin Baldoni over his sexual harassment of Blake Lively.

From AP -

Driver rams New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, killing 10. FBI investigating as ‘act of terrorism’

A driver rammed a vehicle into a crowd of New Orleans revelers early on New Year’s Day, killing 10 people and injuring 35 others in what the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.

The driver was killed in a firefight with police following the attack around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday along Bourbon Street in the city’s bustling French Quarter, the FBI said.
