Reporter Conveniently Given Exclusive Access to New Orleans Terrorist’s Squalid Trailer Home: Bomb-Making Station and Open Quran Which Discusses Martyrdom

A recent terror attack in New Orleans was carried out by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an ISIS-inspired individual who killed 14 people on Bourbon Street.

The FBI investigation revealed that Jabbar, a former US Army veteran and IT professional, had a bomb-making station in his Houston home and posted disturbing videos before the attack.

His background includes military service, successful IT career, failed marriages, and financial struggles before his radicalization.

“First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point: this was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act. This was obviously a critical incident, and with that, lots of information and tips come pouring in from law enforcement, first responders, and the public,” FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said in a press conference.

“We also have a scene off Mandeville Street, where we’re currently searching. FBI and ATF agents have secured that house, and that location is being searched for potential evidence.”

“Three phones linked to Jabbar have been recovered, and digital media exploitation is a priority to see what is on the devices and determine if there are any other potential leads. Additionally, we have recovered two laptops and are currently reviewing them for any potential leads. Those laptops were recovered at the Mandeville address,” said Raia.

Recall, following the attack, the FBI announced that they are carrying out “law enforcement activity” in Houston, Texas, in connection to the New Orleans terrorist attack.

“FBI Houston and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office are currently conducting law enforcement activity near the intersection of Hugh Road and Crescent Peak Drive in north Houston. We have secured a perimeter in that area and are asking people to avoid the area. FBI Houston personnel and specialized teams will be on-site for several hours. This activity is related to this morning’s New Orleans attack, but due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, no further information can be provided,” the statement reads.

Now, investigations into Jabbar’s Houston residence revealed a bomb-making station in his bedroom, with various chemicals and equipment associated with explosive devices.

Notably, a Quran was found open to Verse 9:111, which discusses martyrdom. Authorities also discovered improvised explosive devices in coolers placed near the attack site, indicating premeditation.

Elon: “Evil Knuckleheads Picked The Wrong Vehicle For A Terrorist Attack”

Responding to the deliberate detonation of what appears to be rudimentary explosive devices in a Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday, Tesla owner Elon Musk noted that the vehicle effectively contained the brunt of the blast and that the attacker couldn’t have picked a worse vehicle if inflicting maximum damage was the intention.

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill announed during a press conference, “I also would like you to pay attention to, on that video, as you see that it looks like the exterior of that truck is completely intact as it sits there.”

“The fact that this was a Cybertruck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out,” he added.

The Sheriff further noted that “the front glass doors at the Trump Hotel were not even broken by that blast, which they were parked directly in front of.”

Musk asserted that “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”

Embarrassing: New Orleans’ 65-Year-Old DEI Police Chief’s Shocking Admission on City’s Missing Preventative Sidewalk Barriers “I didn’t know about them”

New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick spoke with the press on Thursday in the hours before the Sugar Bowl kickoff in an effort to reassure citizens.

Instead, her remarks only raised more questions and concerns about how those in charge are handling the aftermath of the terror attack.

While describing the safety measures in place, Kirkpatrick bizarrely admitted she didn’t know about the city’s sidewalk barriers meant to prevent terror attacks.

Kirkpatrick told reporters, “What you see behind us is what we call hardening the target. We have brought in heavy trucks. You will see when you go down Bourbon, you will see yellow, what we call ‘archers,’ and they are along the sidewalk. That would be to be preventive.”

“If someone had or if this particular terrorist went around up on the sidewalk, that’s what that would do. It would slow that down for anyone who thought that they could breach our targets. Those are some of the main differences we are done in the quarter.”

“Also, you are going to see an incredibly large presence of police. We are, though, confident, but we want our community to feel confident and know they are confidently safe. That’s what we’re going to do.”

“Right now, I can declare to you that the Bourbon Street is open.”

A perplexed reporter asked, “Chief, where did those ‘archers’ come from….the yellow archers, where did they come from?”

Kirkpatrick, “Actually, we have them. I didn’t know about them, but we have them, and so we have been able now to put them out.”

10 Questions We Should All Be Asking About The New Year’s Day Terror Attacks

While we are slowly getting some answers from law enforcement today, there are still a number of bigger picture questions that need to be addressed.

As Michael Snyder highlights, via The Economic Collapse blog, our “new” golden era of “peace and safety” has been very rudely interrupted by the “old” problem of Islamic terror.

 Of course the truth is that it is a problem that never went away.  

There were dozens of major terror attacks in 2024, but most of the population is not going to pay attention unless something happens within our own borders.  Sadly, everyone is paying attention now.

Very early on New Year’s Day, a 42-year-old nut named Shamsud-Din Jabbar rammed a truck into a large crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  We are being told that 15 people are dead and dozens more are injured…

A man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter early on New Year’s Day, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens of others, officials said.

A black ISIS flag was flying from the truck’s rear bumper, and the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

The man driving the vehicle has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, the FBI said.

So was this the end, or is this just the beginning?

Suspects in Vegas explosion, New Orleans attack served at same Army base, sources say

The Colorado Springs resident suspected of detonating a Tesla Cybertruck in front of a Las Vegas hotel and the Texas man accused of driving a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans served at the same military base, sources told Scripps News Denver.

Although sources said officials were investigating the link as a possible connection between the two New Year’s Day attacks, the FBI’s Christopher Raia told reporters that it could not establish a link between the two incidents.

Matthew Livelsberger is accused of renting a Cybertruck in Colorado Springs, driving it to Nevada and packing it with firework mortars and gas cans before exploding it in front of the Trump International Hotel in Vegas Wednesday morning, killing himself and injuring seven others. Shamsud-Din Jabbar is suspected of plowing through a crowd of New Year’s revelers in the French Quarter hours earlier, killing at least 14 and injuring dozens more in an attack that sent shockwaves through a famous New Year’s destination the morning of a scheduled College Football Playoff game.

Both men were confirmed to be Army veterans in the aftermath of the attacks – both of which were being investigated as possible acts of terrorism.

Biden FBI Called White Supremacy ‘Most Persistent, Lethal Threat’ Before Islamist Terrorism Attack

How does a jihadist, flying an ISIS flag on his pickup truck, go undetected in the United States long enough to plow into pedestrians, killing at least 15 and injuring many more?

The FBI says Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, is responsible for the deadly New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans and that he likely did not act alone. Law enforcement is still looking for others who may be involved.

Jabbar was not the threat on President Joe Biden’s radar. Jabbar did not fit the profile of the terrorists Biden, his crooked Department of Justice (DOJ), and feckless Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been searching for.

While the DHS left U.S. borders wide open for any criminal or harmful ideology to enter, the DOJ made “domestic violent extremism” a “national priority area,” numerous reports show.

In June 2021, the National Security Council announced a plan to target domestic terrorists, mostly “those who promote the superiority of the white race” and “militia violent extremists.” The FBI called them “the most persistent and lethal threats.”

That is code for the kind of people who went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Our current effort comes on the heels of … the Jan. 6 assault on our nation’s Capitol,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a June 2021 speech introducing the new focus on domestic terrorism.

“Certainly, the Capitol attack involved violent extremist[s],” FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 2, 2021. He called those present for the chaos at the Capitol domestic terrorists, named the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, and said some were “racially motivated violent extremists” who advocate for white supremacy.

Domestic terrorists are Americans who commit violence with goals that stem from “domestic, extremist ideological influence, and lack foreign direction or influence,” according to the FBI.

ISIS is a violent foreign influence, but the FBI was focused on domestic influences.  

Biden should have known ISIS is a threat. A 2019 Department of State report under President Donald Trump details its deadly attacks. But in an outrageous act of political malpractice, Biden decided instead to use the resources of the FBI to hunt down perceived domestic political threats that questioned his administration.

Biden has used a lot of terms to describe the domestic threat: White supremacy, Right-wing Christian extremism, violent extremists, but they all lead to one term: MAGA Republicans — the Make America Great Again crowd who just voted Donald Trump back into office.

In an angry, troubling Sept. 1, 2022 speech, titled “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation,” Biden spoke derisively of “MAGA Republicans” 13 times.

Houston Mosque Reportedly Attended by New Orleans Terrorist Instructs Members NOT to Speak to the FBI and Refer Them to Radical CAIR

Masjid Bilal ISGH, a mosque in Houston reportedly attended by the New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar, has instructed its members not to speak to the FBI.

Instead, the mosque advised its congregation to direct law enforcement inquiries to the radicals of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) or the Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH).

Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran who was discharged from the Army Reserve in 2020 with the rank of staff sergeant, converted to Islam before spiraling into erratic behavior, according to family members who spoke with far-left New York Times.

Dwayne Marsh, married to Jabbar’s ex-wife, noted the suspect’s increasingly bizarre actions, including cutting his hair drastically and displaying erratic behavior that prompted them to restrict his access to his daughters.

Jabbar had moved into a predominantly Muslim neighborhood north of Houston approximately a year ago.

Following the New Orleans attack, FBI investigators descended on the area, including the local mosque, Masjid Bilal ISGH.

Meanwhile, Masjid Bilal ISGH issued a statement to its members that many have criticized as an attempt to obstruct justice.

In a Facebook post, Masjid Bilal ISGH’s leadership instructed its members to avoid speaking to the media and, if approached by the FBI, to refer inquiries to CAIR or ISGH.

Former CIA Officer Warns: 1,000 Al-Qaeda Fighters In US For Next Homeland Attack 

In a recent discussion on the Shawn Ryan Show, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack planned by Al-Qaeda terrorists on American soil.

The interview offers significant insights into what may be unfolding, as Al-Qaeda sleeper cells could be activating in the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack and a possible vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) in the rear of a rented Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas just hours later.

Ryan asked Adams: “I just want to clarify. You are 100% certain that there are 1,000 plus Al-Qaeda-trained fighters within the US borders?”

Adams, currently a global threat advisor with extensive experience in Middle Eastern affairs, responded: “Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the Homeland Attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying, so they could exaggerate it; however, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas Attack so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks.” 

Adams provided more details on a potential 2025 homeland attack.

Terror probe launched as Tesla Cybertruck EXPLODES outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing driver

A Cybertruck that exploded outside the front doors of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday is being investigated as an act of terrorism. 

A car – made by Trump ally Elon Musk‘s company Tesla – was seen in a fiery blaze outside the front revolving doors of the hotel, social media video showed, killing one and injuring seven around 9am, according to Las Vegas police. 

Sheriff Kevin McMahill said police are treating the explosion as an act of terror, alongside the New Orleans event, which saw a driver kill 15 pedestrians. 

‘With the event that occurred [in New Orleans], and the victims there, and the additional IEDs, so as you can imagine, with an explosion here on our iconic Las Vegas Boulevard, we are taking all of the precautions that we need to take to keep the community safe.’ 

The FBI is also investigating the Vegas event. Elon Musk also said his company is looking into the matter, writing on X: ‘The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now.

‘We’ve never seen anything like this,’ the billionaire wrote.  

The official cause of the explosion and fire is currently unknown, but an unidentified official briefed on the incident told ABC News it had a load of fireworks-style mortars inside the vehicle. 

Police are working to determine if the driver, who died, intentionally set off the explosives.

FBI confirms multiple IEDs found in French Quarter, Shamsun-Din Jabbar not ‘solely responsible’ for NOLA terror attack

FBI Spokesperson Aletha Duncan spoke at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon during which she confirmed earlier reports that authorities do not believe that Shamsud-Din Jabbar worked alone in carrying out what is being investigated as a terrorist attack.

“The FBI is the lead investigative agency and we’re investigating this as an attack of terrorism along with our partners,” Duncan said, before describing the incident. The suspect drove an EV Ford F-150 into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans at about 3:15 am, killing 10 and injuring another 35. “After hitting the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire and the subject was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

Duncan said that the Jabbar is a US citizen, born and raised in Texas. He was a US Army veteran. “An ISIS flag was located on the trailer hitch of the vehicle and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations. Weapons and potential improvised explosive devices, IEDs, were located within the subject’s vehicle. Other IEDs were also located in the French Quarter.”

She went on to say that the FBI is working to run down his associates and is seeking to determine if there is a further threat. 

“We do not believe that Jabbar is solely responsible,” Duncan said, “we are aggressively running down every lead including those of his known associates. That’s why we need the public’s help.” She asked that anyone who had been in contact with Jabbar over the past 72 hours to come forward and give any information they may have to the FBI to “assist in this investigation.”

She went on to say that Jabbar was an Army veteran who is believed to be on honorary discharge.
