Texas native Shamsud Din-Jabbar, 42, drove his truck into a crowd in New Orleans during the New Year’s Eve festivities and then began to open fire on innocent bystanders. Fifteen people are dead, with at least another 30 injured. His vehicle had an ISIS flag. The truck was rented by Turo and crossed the border from Mexico on November 16. It had been driven by someone else. The attack occurred at 3:15 AM local time. Explosives were found at the scene, with officials now saying that there’s evidence Mr. Din-Jabbar did not act alone, pointing to a coordinated terrorist attack.

New video footage caught three men and a woman planting bombs in the French Quarter. That area has been swept and cleared. There was potential for this attack to be deadlier. IEDs were also discovered in the truck driven by Din-Jabbar (via Associated Press):

The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism and said it does not believe the driver acted alone. An Islamic State group flag was found on the vehicle’s trailer hitch, the FBI said. 

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.

The FBI identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas and said it is working to determine Jabbar’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations. 

“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible,” Alethea Duncan, an assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Orleans field office, said at a news conference.

I guess the bombs didn’t go off.

[grey_whiskers]

“Suspect”
“Accused”

...but according to the Dems, Trump is a *convicted* felon.

[montag813]

But officials are now saying he DID act alone.

“..But officials are now saying he DID act alone....”

“officials”. Does anyone with even a modicum of sanity & intelligence really believe anything these useless basstids even say anymore? /s

Both ELECTRIC TRUCKS were rented from exactly “TURO” rentals company, and were used in terror attacks THE SAME DAY!

This was a coordinated, multi-state terror attack.

Is Jabbar related to the pilot?

and the postponed the sugar bowl. AKA no way he acted alone.

[SeekAndFind]

I thought the pilot’s name was Roger Murdock?

Our little secret.

Maybe the terrorist was angry his cousin got all the basketball talent in the gene pool.

It’s amazing how many people automatically go to the grassy knoll theory within minutes of one of these attacks... Blaming nefarious and unknown figures who actually masterminded the event, leaving one to believe that this poor mentally unstable individual couldn’t have possibly of thought of it all by himself... When in fact... That’s exactly what he did.

The dude lived in a rundown trailer park in Texas with goats and sheep hanging out in his backyard. He isn’t part of some sophisticated terrorist group... He’s merely a terrorist wannabe.

Las Vegas, Butler, Trump International, J-6, Russia Russia, Laptop, Biden classified docs, FBI will bury this story like every other fuk up.

How about when Biden spoke and he had that brown stuff on his lips?

“Shamsud Din-Jabbar” just doesn’t have a Texas ring to it.

The terrorist was from Houston. Never having been South of any Northern border States, I had no idea of the distance from Houston to New Orleans. I wondered if an EV pickup truck could travel from Houston to N.O., without a recharge. It seems to me, that it would be odd if he would have stopped to recharge, unless it was EXTREMELY pre-planned.

A quick check of the internet shows a trip mileage of 347.5 miles. A check of Ford Lightning range, shows 320 miles, with the largest battery, per Ford. Of course, that would be downhill all the way with no lights, no a/c, no heater, no radio, etc. Per Google AI, range shows 230-320.

This suggests, he could NOT have driven from Houston to New Orleans WITHOUT a recharge. Using the free ‘Ford Charge Station Pro’, it would take 8 hours. A public ‘DC fast charger’, would take an hour, perhaps.

Given all this, where did he stop to recharge, and with whom did he meet? THAT could be QUITE telling.

The FBI Keystone Cops will be on the case. I hope the New Orleans Police Superintendent does die of old age during the investigation. A significant terrorest threat to the nation and who is in charge but the bumbling Biden administration.

What about the videos of 3 men and a woman supposedly planting IED’s?
