| Butchery on Bourbon Street UPDATE: US Army veteran attacks crowd with truck and guns, killing 10 for ISIS, 4 friends planted IEDs in area | |
| 2025-01-01 | |
| [USA Today] At least 10 people were killed and as many as 30 injured after a vehicle drove into a large crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter early on Wednesday, according to the FBI and city leaders. A truck crashed into the crowd at high speed and the driver then got out, firing a gun, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said at an early morning news conference. "It is unknown what his intentions were at this time" "He was hell bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did . . . This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could. It was not a DUI situation," Kirkpatrick said. Two police officers were shot but are in stable condition, she said. The incident happened around 3:15 a.m., according to the city's emergency responders.
10 dead, at least 35 injured after truck plowed through Bourbon Street, New Orleans Barriers intended to block terror attacks on Bourbon Street were removed for overhaul in November FBI confirmed investigating as a 'terror' attack The white Ford F-150 Lightning (EV) truck used was rented ISIS Flag posted on the vehicle The suspect is confirmed as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42. Possible birth name, pre-possible conversion: Jacqueline Sweet. He is an American citizen who grew up and currently lived in Texas, 10 years US Army veteran, probable honourable discharge. Zero Hedge has a photo of what appears to be a dead Black man in fatigues labelled as the miscreant, the NY Post has a headshot photo here, as does Fox News. The suspect drove two blocks through the crowd before crashing into a construction crane, then opened fire on police, injuring two, before they shot and killed him. A Glock handgun and .308 caliber rifle equipped with optics and a sensor were recovered from the crime scene. Law enforcement is investigating at least two IEDs planted in French Quarter area, plus one in truck — remote-detonation pipe bombs filled with nails — looking for 3 men and a woman seen on video surveillance planting the things. People also evacuated from an Airbnb in the St. Roch area as well. A fire broke out that law enforcement officials said was connected to the attack. Sugar Bowl postponed until tomorrow Louisiana Governor declares state of emergency FBI examining an area in north Houston connected to the attack — Crescent Peak Drive and Hugh Road According to NOLA.com, the miscreant is a former real estate agent (1019-2023) who worked for Deloitte. He lived in Fresno with his wife until divorced in 2022, then moved to Houston, where he rented a mobile home from Asia Maryam, paying promptly every month in cash, even though his ex-wife said he had money problems due to spending excessively on “paramours”. In a YouTube posted four years ago to promote his real estate business, he called himself a human resources and IT specialist for the US military. When he lived in North Carolina, in 2012, he was registered as a Democrat. | |

| #50 The bollards were being repaired. It was going to take 70 days, 7 days a week, with OT, of course. And, naturally, the first thing you do is remove the old bollards. |

| #49 I expect to see more of this. We invaded Afghanistan because part of the country was ruled by Islamic radicals who were allowing terrorists to setup training bases. After 20 years of fighting we left Afghanistan unified under Islamic radicals with more and better bases. |

| #45 Starting to look like the police were on to them but acted too late. They found the bombs, not from info gained by the dead guy. The video footage of the white truck was specifically following the white truck. Now we hear the Trump bombing was a rental from the same rental company. Its really smelling of coordinated events... |

| #33 @17 "black flag" "An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle and the FBI is working to determine the subject's potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations. Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject’s vehicle. Other potential IEDs were also located in the French Quarter," the FBI said. |

| #32 Ace of Spades Website and story. Snippet: (ALL UNCONFIRMED) Terrorist Attack in New Orleans Fox News: 4-5 Conspirators? US Army Reserves IT Specialist??!! —Ace Boy does this rubbish the last post. I'm counting this as part of 2024. One of Biden's last gifts to us is another bloody round of Cultural Enrichment. Last night, a man drove his truck into a crowd of people -- just like jihadi terrorists do in France and Germany. Then he got out of his truck and began shooting people. He also had IEDs in the truck. Update: Commenters say that 4-5 people might have been involved in this attack, per Fox News, but that is unconfirmed. Update: He worked for... the US ARMY?!?!

#17 From Besoeker's Zerohedge link is this picture of the pickup truck. If you look at it on the Zerohedge link, you can open the image into a new tab and you should be able to blow it up. Then you can clearly see that the so-called "black fabric" is indeed a black flag on a flag pole that had been very deliberately mounted on the truck's rear fender. The terrorist left no doubt about his motivation. |

| #13 FBI confirms New Orleans killer is dead, investigating car ramming as act of terrorism From the link: After the truck — which was trailing a piece of black fabric — crashed into a crane blocking Bourbon Street, the killer engaged police in a firefight and was shot dead. Two officers were wounded in the shootout, but are in stable condition, officials said. With Biden's wide open border, the only surprise is this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. |

| #12 New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell called the incident a “terrorist attack” during a press conference on Wednesday. Found on another web site. A more useful headline would simply read: New Orleans terrorist attacks crowd with vehicles and gunfire to start 2025 |

| #2 Bourbon Street would have been a pedestrian mall last night, with steel bollards blocking the intersections, but probably so crowded he could hit that many running through on a cross street, and THAT 'could' have been something other than terrorist (psychosis, substance abuse) though the IEDs would say terrorism. |
