EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

    At the time the N.O. Mayor’s office was arguing that it was not a terrorist attack. The FBI is now looking into it as a terror attack. Things change. It happens.

    EDIT: Sorry, busy morning and got it turned around. Mayor’s office said it wasn’t terrorism, FBI said it wasn’t but has since changed their tune.

      The FBI special agent in charge said on a live broadcast a couple of hours ago that it was not terrorism. Maybe she misspoke. Maybe they realized the PR nightmare of that choice. But it is certainly not misinformation
