FBI: "This was an act of terrorism"

Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia with the FBI Counterterrorism Division said the New Orleans attack “was an act of terrorism” during a Thursday news conference.

“My goal is to be as forthcoming as possible with you on what we’ve uncovered so far. First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point, this was an act of terrorism,” he said.

“It was premeditated and an evil act,” Raia added.
