- The arrest occurred after the United States formally sought help from Iraqi authorities to aid in the investigation of the attack that resulted in 14 fatalities and 35 injuries.
- The FBI identified the attacker as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar from Texas, who crashed a rented truck into a crowd and was killed by police.
- Jabbar posted support for the Islamic State on Facebook, and Iraqi officials stated the arrested suspect will face prosecution under anti-terrorism laws.
