Not new. Just not seen in US terrorists’ arsenals.

Terror attack? Thought the fbi said it wasn’t two days ago. Oh, and Vegas was ‘ptsd’ and wife break up with a note saying ‘This isn’t a terrorist attack. No, really its not!’

Sounds like new methods to sneak by trained k-9 bomb dogs. I expect the baddies are working on defeating magnetometers as well to make it on commercial airliners. jmho

How about the more likely case of the guy making the stuff from a recipe he was given while in Egypt, or being given the stuff by a foreign enemy?

Not a new explosive- just one that hasn’t yet been used in the US or Europe.

Apparently it has been used elsewhere.

Which just means that it isn’t TATP or something like that.

He went to Egypt, which has been used before by ISIS recruits as a gateway to Somalia and training in the manufacture of sophisticated IEDs...

Somalia’s al Shabaab group has acquired much of their material from captured materials of African Union and Kenyan antiterrorism forces...

The tour of his house by the NY Post reporter showed what I took to be digital scales. Couldn’t really tell.

....not seen before in a U.S. terror attack.....

Check with ISIS countries that set up Jabbar to attack. You’ll likely find it there.

the fbi has proven it can’t be trusted as anything other than a political organization. Why would anybody believe the fbi saying “oh, it’s something we haven’t seen before, similar to integrity”

Very true. Glock 7, made out porcelain. Totally undetectable.

Maybe the government already knew about this and that was what the drones were for? Probable emanated from Picatinny Arsenal in Jersey, which is where the drones started appearing.
