More details are emerging which confirm that the massacre in New Orleans was definitely an act of terror by an ISIS sleeper cell. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the FBI verifies, “posted deranged videos to social media mere minutes before unleashing his deadly onslaught.”
New Orleans terror
Along with a timeline of the terrorist’s actions “leading up to the gruesome New Year’s Day truck-ramming terrorist attack in New Orleans,” the FBI released some disturbing details.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar rented a Ford F-150 to “mow down dozens of celebrants” on Bourbon Street from the same company Las Vegas Tesla Cybertruck bomber Matthew Alan Livelsberger used. Turo. The feds still won’t admit the two incidents are connected.
Jabbar spent New Year’s Eve driving from Houston to New Orleans. Along the way, he recorded “a series of deranged social media videos.”
A total of five went up on Facebook “beginning at 1:29 a.m. and ending at 3:02 a.m., less than 15 minutes before he drove into the crowd on Bourbon Street.”
The first video featured a rant explaining that “he originally planned to hurt his family and friends.” Then he realized that would confuse the public. Jabbar was “concerned the headlines surrounding such a personal attack wouldn’t focus” on his main concern.
Attacking New Orleans would put a spotlight on the “war between the believers and the disbelievers.” By “believers” he means goat humping ISIS terrorists. He even kept his own herd of goats, back at his trailer.
Joined up with ISIS
Born in Texas, the terrorist who struck New Orleans is an Army veteran. He just happens to have been in Afghanistan in 2009. That’s the same year the Las Vegas bomber was in Afghanistan. Both were stationed at the same base in North Carolina, though a timing match isn’t clear.
The attacker in Las Vegas was an active duty Green Beret. That’s one of the main reasons the feds are reluctant to claim they’re related.
It hasn’t been established exactly when Jabbar joined up with ISIS. He was flying one of their flags when he steamrolled into battle.
One of his last minute videos included his claim that “he joined ISIS prior to this summer.” Maybe a long time prior. He also spelled out “a last will and testament.”
Between 1 and 2 a.m. local time, Jabbar was spotted at various points in New Orleans “placing IEDs.” One was at the intersection of Bourbon Street and Orleans Street. That’s where every tourist to the Big Easy stops to take a snapshot.
“The IED was inside a cooler, and many people stopped and looked at the cooler and then continued on their way.” An hour after the killing spree, “FBI bomb technicians recovered two IEDs in coolers.” The other was at an intersection two blocks away.
