Who is Shamsud Din Jabbar? The man behind the New Orleans terror attack with possible ISIS links
Daily Mail UK ^ | New Years Day 2025 | Rachel Bowman

Posted on 01/01/2025 1:19:26 PM PST by Morgana

The twisted driver who massacred pedestrians celebrating the New Year on a New Orleans street and died in a shootout with police has been identified.

Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S citizen, drove a rental truck brandishing an ISIS flag into the crowd on Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens. He was killed by cops after he exited his vehicle and started shooting.

The electric-vehicle-driving terrorist - who the FBI believes did not work alone on the horrifying attack - grew up in Texas and served in the U.S. Army.

Jabbar worked for white-collar Deloitte as a Business Developer and Data Engineer, after working in real estate at Blue Meadow Properties. He had a Bachelor's degree from Georgia State University - and used to work for the US Army.

The suspect's love life was scattered - having been married twice. His first marriage ended in 2012, and his second in 2022.

His second wife's new husband, Dwayne Marsh, said Jabbar had begun to convert to Islam within the last year and was 'being all crazy,' reported The New York Times.

Marsh said Jabbar had two daughters, one a teenager and one a young adult, and that they were 'a mess' after the attack.

In a YouTube video from 2020, Jabbar spoke about his professional life in real estate - and said that he was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas.

Jabbar worked as a human resources specialist and an information technology specialist during his decade-long tenure in the armed forces, he said.

The terrorist, who was shot dead in the bloody scene on New Year's Day, also had a criminal history - including being charged with misdemeanor theft in 2002 and for driving without a valid license in 2005.

Where is that snaggle haired FBI agent stating on the record that it was not a terrorist attack. She is a liar. She may have been ordered to say such, but she said it and she owns it. What is wrong with the FBI to say such things.

Gee, that was quick. It’s almost as if he was on The FIB’s radar.

Something here doesn’t add up. Maybe more than one something. I suspect that when it all does add up, it won’t be the truth.

Totally normal American who served his country in the Army somehow developed new friendships, became radicalized and executed a terrorist attack. All within one year………total BS.
