A car-ramming attack in New Orleans has left at least 15 dead as the city rang in the New Year, with the assailant shot by American police. Geoffroy Didier, Deputy Secretary General of the French Republicans, expressed solidarity with the American people and highlighted the ongoing threat of terrorism, noting that such attacks often involve unsuspecting profiles that complicate detection efforts. Didier stressed the importance of proactive security measures, while acknowledging that absolute security is unattainable.
