CNN reports:
The suspect in Wednesday’s deadly New Orleans crowd attack had an ISIS flag at the time of the incident, two law enforcement sources tell CNN. One of the sources also said multiple suspected explosive devices were found in an ice chest in the pickup truck used in the attack. The FBI, which is leading the investigation, has said it is treating the incident as an “act of terrorism.”
Investigators are looking into any possible associates of the suspect as well as the suspect’s political or religious views and whether the person is associated with a known terrorist organization. The pickup truck used in Wednesday’s deadly New Orleans crowd attack was rented from a service that allows private owners to put their vehicles out for rent, according to two federal law enforcement sources.

But President Trump has been very vocal.
