UPDATED 1530 EST: Not only can we confirm that this was definitely Islamic terrorism, but we know that this was meant to be a devastating terror attack involving several actors and intended to cause hundreds of deaths throughout the French Quarter:
Guns and pipe bombs were also found in the vehicle, according to a Louisiana State Police intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. The devices, which were concealed within coolers, were wired for remote detonation, the bulletin said, and a corresponding remote control was discovered inside the vehicle.
The FBI said other potential explosive devices were also located in the French Quarter. According to the intelligence bulletin, surveillance footage captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.
