The city of New Orleans tried to protect its famed French Quarter from a terrorist attack years before a U.S. Army veteran rammed a truck into crowds of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street, killing 14 people. The list of fatalities included incoming University of Alabama engineering Badawi and Auburn graduate Andrew Dauphin

A University of Alabama engineering student, a graduate of Auburn, a single mother, a father of two, and a former Princeton football star were killed when the driver of a white pickup truck sped down Bourbon Street, packed with holiday revelers.

The FBI now says a lone "act of terrorism" killed University of Alabama student Kareen Badawi on New Years Day.

Fifteen people, including Badawi, where killed and thirty more injured.
