An Islamic State terror cell strongly suspected of being behind an attack in which a pick-up truck rammed crowds of people celebrating the new year on one of America’s most famous party streets. Suspects were caught on camera planting bombs in the district before Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar rammed a pick - up truck truck into a crowd killing ten and injuring dozens more.
Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, 42, a US national who served in the military, sped into revellers on packed Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans in the early hours of January 1, killing at least 10 and injuring many more.
Soon after the attack official sources revealed FBI investigators was searching for three suspected accomplices who planted explosives around the French Quarter in a coordinated terror plot. Images of two men and a woman were captured by security cameras placing bombs shortly before Jabbar rammed the white Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck into partygoers.
Local media outlets have published the image (above) of the truck involved in the mass casualty incident on Bourbon Street.
The Ford F-150 Lightning truck bearing a Texas license plate reading "LZ 1575." A flagpole hitch holder is visible with what appears to be a flag, although it seems covered. Additionally, there are four bullet holes in the rear cabin window of the truck.
Bourbon Street is designed to be a pedestrian street after dark and has multiple car barriers to stop cars from doing this. You could not even jump the sidewalk to get in there. He had to have a bypass plan.
Bourbon Street is the most policed area in the entire State after dark. There are not only local police in pairs on every corner, but there are State and Feds there every night and likely more on New Years Eve. They are basically hands off unless you start getting violent.
Based on experience, this is unlikely to be a race thing and more likely to be a religious zealot thing. A unique thing about New Orleans is that there is way above average racial harmony. There is high crime but the crime is profit motivated, it is highly unusual for locals to target someone for violence based on race.
On the other hand, out of state, religious zealots of all stripes hate Bourbon Street as it is a decadent area, a red light district. This guy with his TX plates traveled here for this BS.
Western media and the corrupt politiians they serve have been too quick to celebrate the
defeat of ISIS over the last 4-5 years. The group may have been been dispersed by
large scale military action in Iraq, Syria and Libya but many members escaped and regrouped under different names .They, and the underlying violent ideology of Islamic fundamentalism have not
gone away. In Afghanistan another offshoot is much stronger than it was.
Containment by force and prison sentences is no more than that and prisons too often act as Madrasas, with jailed extremists radicalising disaffected young people.There
are likely to be recurring waves of violence from inside the West and
outside .
People all over Europe and North America are sick of being lied to and of the
obvious conclusions not being drawn. In UK as we await the trial of another Islamic extremist for killing three young girls at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in summer, we are not allowed to discuss the desperate efforts of the government to cover up the fact that the perpetrator was Muslim. Meanwhile Prime MinisterStarmer will
not allow an investigation and report into the activities of sexual grooming gangs that abused hundreds of young white girls over a long period in Oldham, Rochdale, Rotherham and elsewhere, that is
being called for.....by Labour run Oldham Town Council ! We need to know the truth. And
we need to be able to fully discuss it. We have a massive problem.
Politicians have absolutely no dea how to mend what their virtue signalling 'woke' poliies have broken.
So they are covering it up
