The army veteran who rammed a pickup truck into New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, Louisiana on a busy tourist street was “inspired” by the Islamic State terrorist organization, said President Joe Biden in a brief address from the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland. Nola Haynes, who is from New Orleans, is a political scientist at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign service and a member of an international security advisory board. She tells VOA’s Carol Van Dam that she has been warning of increased terrorist threats both inside the US and elsewhere for some time, but first she describes her personal reaction to the attack.
