SECOND UPDATE: NBC News reported early Wednesday afternoon that “four senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter say they have preliminarily identified the suspect in the vehicle ramming attack in New Orleans as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42.” Din Jabbar is “accused of intentionally plowing a pickup truck into New Year’s revelers at about 3:15 a.m. on Bourbon Street, authorities said. The suspect is dead, the FBI said.” The mysterious flag on the back of the truck Din Jabbar was driving seems to have been a flag of the Islamic State (ISIS). If that is definitively confirmed, it would not be surprising at all, for ISIS has called for vehicular jihad attacks as far back as 2014.
UPDATE: At 9:45 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, the FBI in New Orleans posted a statement on its Facebook page, saying: “The FBI is the lead investigative agency, and we are working with our partners to investigate this as an act of terrorism.” It is good that they have come around on this rather obvious fact, after an FBI special agent initially denied that it was a terror attack, as you can see in the original article below. Will we eventually be told what kind of terrorism was involved here? That remains to be seen.

The most curious aspect of the attack in New Orleans in the early morning of New Year’s Day is the naked and open contradiction between the city’s mayor and the FBI about what exactly happened. And that contradiction may mean that we will never know what really happened.
The basic facts of the incident are fairly straightforward, but they’re the only straightforward aspect of this. At around 3:15 a.m. on Wednesday as New Year’s revelers packed the streets at Canal and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, a large truck plowed into them at high speed. By all accounts, the driver did this deliberately, killing at least ten people and injuring dozens more in the process.
And the man wasn’t finished. After crashing his truck, he jumped out and started firing at the cops who were beginning to assemble at the scene, wounding two of them. The police returned fire, and the attacker was killed. It appears that he had plans for even more mayhem, when the police searched his truck, they found improvised explosive devices.
This is where the story takes a strange turn. At a hastily convened press conference early on Wednesday morning, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said that the incident was a “terrorist attack,” although she offered no information or speculation about what kind of terrorist attack it might have been. Once Cantrell was finished, however, FBI Special Agent Aletha (that’s how Fox has her name; NPR and CNN have “Alethea”) Duncan contradicted her, asserting that it was “not a terrorist attack.”
Now, this is just weird. What else does the FBI propose to call an attack in which a driver deliberately plows a truck into a crowd, then gets out and fires on the cops, and had explosives ready so as to kill or injure even more people? If that isn’t a terror attack, what exactly is a terror attack? Does the woke, clueless, compromised, and corrupt FBI only consider an incident to be a terror attack when it can plausibly claim that the perpetrator was a “white supremacist” Trump supporter?
Is it possible that the FBI doesn’t want to call what happened in New Orleans a terror attack because doing so might lead some people into “Islamophobia”? Absolutely. There is no information available as yet about the New Orleans attacker, but vehicular attacks are a favored tactic of Islamic jihadis. And the FBI of Christopher Wray and Robert Mueller has been busy downplaying and denying the reality of Islamic jihad for years.
There are numerous examples. Although the recent vehicular attack at the Christmas Market in Magdeburg, Germany is mired in controversy over whether or not the attacker had genuinely left Islam as he claimed to have done, there is a long history of jihadis using this tactic and precious few examples of non-Muslims resorting to it. Recently, in Oct. 2024 in Israel, another truck driver injured 35 people in a vehicular jihad attack at a bus stop near Tel Aviv. Just weeks before that, a Syrian Muslim migrant with a Palestinian flag wounded 31 people in arson and ramming attacks in Essen, Germany. Also in September in Darmstadt, Germany, an Afghan Muslim migrant ran through several red lights at high speed and tried to run over pedestrians, explaining that he did it “on behalf of Allah.”
Vehicular jihad has taken place in the U.S. as well: at Ohio State University in Nov. 2016, a Somali Muslim migrant mowed down students with his car, then jumped out and started stabbing anyone he could reach. Eight people were injured. As far back as 2014, the Islamic State (ISIS) was calling upon Muslims in Western countries to carry out vehicular jihad attacks.
Whoever carried out the New Orleans attack, there is another curious aspect of it: on X, a photo showed that the truck had a flagpole attached to its back bumper, and the driver was apparently flying some kind of flag. What kind, however, is unknown as of this writing on Wednesday morning, for it seemed as if one of the first things that the police did was cover the flag with a coat. Or did they? Another X user posted a different photo of the truck that was apparently taken just moments after the attack, and although the photo itself is not all that clear, asserted that “it was always just a black coat on a pole.”
Would some nut fly a black coat from a flagpole? Sure. Would the cops cover up a flag that an attacker was flying because seeing it might make people think negatively about a group that enjoys protected status from the left and its establishment media lapdogs? That possibility cannot be counted out, either.
So what happened in New Orleans? It does seem to have been a terrorist attack, judging from the fact that all accounts say that the driver intentionally plowed into the crowd and that he didn’t stop there, but began firing at the cops, and on top of all that, had explosives. Was it a jihad attack? It may have been, as there are many incidents of jihadis resorting to this tactic, while deliberate car rammings by others are comparatively rare. But we do not know for sure, and may never know.
We can only hope that the FBI and New Orleans authorities will follow up with a thorough investigation, without regard for woke niceties. But given the deep corruption of both, that seems unlikely in the extreme.
Joseph Stalin used trucks to kill individuals toward the end of World War 2, but I’m not aware of his using trucks to kill groups of people.
Yeah… and notice the New Orleans Police Badges…
They are islamic Crescents with a Star…
Additionally; the sidewalk pillars, called “Bollards” were all removed and being replaced…
that not islam logo ignorant..
This X account has a picture of the truck with the flag pole and license plate of the truck it ‘s plate is a Texas plate two alpha and 4 numeric are visible on the plate/tag but not sure if there is an alpha or numeric character block by the flag pole.

There’s on video… taken from across the street… focused on the white truck and only on the truck as it quickly turns right on another street and begins it’s terror…
Not sure if the flagpole made the truck suspicious… but it seems weird how the video is only focused on the white truck…
Obviously, radical Protestants from Kansas are at the bottom of this vehicular attack. The Women fo the View warned us of this, these Christian terrorists.
Where in the world did you dig up that idea?
You might be a terrorist if…
I believe it was in 1996 that Janet Reno, just after WACO, was interviewed on CNN’s Larry King Live when she discussed the need to crack down on the terrorist elements including radical cults within American Society. Reno was asked by King, “Who are these radical Cultists?” She responded:
A cultist is one who:
A- has a strong belief in the Bible and the second coming of Christ;
B-who frequently attends Bible Study;
C- who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause;
D- who home schools his children;
E- who has accumulated survival foods;
F- who has a strong belief in the 2ND Amendment, and
G- a strong distrust of BIG GOVERNMENT.” Larry King almost fell off of his chair.
On the flip side…
Evidence that you are NOT a terrorist!
You believe in allah
You believe in genitalia mutilation
You believe that infidels should be subjugated and/or killed
You believe bombing Churches is ordained by allah
You believe it’s OK to rape two year old girls because her father won’t convert to Islam
You believe making Russian school kids drink piss while being held hostage is OK
You believe oil is allah’s gift to Islam
You believe throwing acid in your wife’s face to disfigure her is your duty
You believe in honor killings
You believe barricading Christians in their home and burning them alive is your duty
You believe that the Muslim Brotherhood is peaceful
Your sarcasm on The View’s Christian terrorism has more merit than you know.
Remember when shithead Bloomberg blamed the attempted Times Square bombing on “someone that doesn’t like the healthcare (Obama care) bill”?
[Read into that: “a conservative” did it]
As every normal patriot knew at the time (May, 2010) that the perp was yet again, another islamic prick – not a Gulf War vet.
When it turned out to be Faisal Shahzad from Pakistan, Bloomberg warned against islamophobia aimed at Pakistanis.
When not building in-your-face, super-mosques near ground-zero, islamists plot more destruction and celebrate it. But, Bloomberg’s main concern was that muslims don’t get their feelings hurt.
Bloomberg & the media tried to shift Faisel’s motive to “frustration over his mortgage”; certainly not his jihadists intentions.
(At least Bloomberg didn’t ascribe the motive to frustration over obamacare.)
If we keep our Borders open to these psycopaths were going to get this kind of reaction from Violent people and the Open Borders Welcome Migrants crowd of Useful Idiots
So far it doesn’t meet the legal definition of a “terror attack”.
18 U.S. Code § 2331, “terrorism” (whether foreign or domestic) includes any acts that are dangerous to human life in violation of the law and are intended to intimidate or coerce a population, influence governmental policy, or affect the conduct of a government.
22 U.S. Code § 2656f, “terrorism” is “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.”
How do you figure that it doesn’t meet the definition. You have a Muslim driver here.
Any violence or terrorism committed by a Black or a Jihadist… isn’t considered terrorism…
And mostly… the media doesn’t show a picture of the terrorist until days after the incident. Except if it was a Whitey…
Of course now… the reports are this perp was an Veteran…
All the while they’ll cover up and dismiss the satanic islamic connection… we’ll wait and see…
He was an islamopithicine and his fellow soldiers warned their retarded “commanders” about his jihadi statements. Nothing was done. of course.
And with Joke Bidumb’s handlers in office, he was free to go on a murder spree.
Trump can’t take office soon enough. Of course the left-wing scum are trying to assassinate him and blowing up car bombs in front of his buildings. A Tesla, as an obvious jab at Elon Musk.
Just like cocktail circuit brass overlooked Nadal Hassan until he murdered 14 at Fort Sill (15 counting the severely disabled vet that committed suicide.
Jug-eared Barry declared it “workplace violence”, as he’d rather vomit than call it was it clearly was – jihad.
Thus, gleefully denying all wounded a Purple Hear medal.
A delay in identifying a criminal is usually due to the fact that the identity goes against the preferred government narrative. If the perpetrator were Anglo, male, Christian, heterosexual – then his picture and bio would have been almost instantaneous – together with pronouncements of guilt shortly after arrest and before the first court appearance.
The ISIS flag the Muslim driver displayed kinda gives the game away 🙂
As does that idiot DEI FBI chick rushing in to assure that it wasn’t terrorism.
That confirmed for me that it absolutely was terrorism – islamic terrorism.
Islamic jihadists have a wide birth of privacy given them.
Every Trump supporter who set foot within 20 miles of the Capitol, has had their “patern of life” documented in dossiers.
Illegal aliens with korans or gang tats are released & forgotten with the FBI’s blessing.
(Before illegals are unleashed on the unwilling populace, they’re given free plane rides, free hotels & housing, free food, and voter registration data – all paid for by us.)
Reports are saying…
Right after the ramming and the perp was hot dead…
Someone went over and covered the pole and flag with a coat…
Go figure…
Yeah, that pretty much gave his jihadi motivation away. The FBI (anti-American scumbag traitors) saw that flag and had it on video but denied it and tried to claim Achmed or whomever wasn’t a Moslem or terrorist. He’s one of the usual suspects. Shocking, right?
But this is 2024, not 1904. People took camera video of the Jigroe and his ISIS flag. We all know he was an islamopithecine.
Good riddance.
The only terrorists interesting to the FBI are Roman Catholics attending the Latin Rite mass.
And concerned parents at school board meetings. And anybody with a MAGA hat on.
Don’t jump to conclusions. Give the authorities time to coordinate the coverup.
Maybe they were tracking the perp until they decided he was really dangerous.
Anyone who doesn’t believe that this nation is being invaded needs a very serious attitude adjustment.
Is Barack Hussein Obama keeping count of the Americans his clique’s anti-border policies have killed and wounded? He and his “wife” must be thrilled.
Look at all those stupid cops standing around in the photo. As usual. GO DO SOMETHING!
If this government’s FBI is working with local authorities, that means one or both of two things. They are working to cover up information that would embarrass this government’s (and the opposition party’s) denial that Muslim terrorists are active in the land, or expose the FBI’s part, one way or another, in the attack.
When Democrats opened the border floodgates they knew the consequences would be terror attacks throughout the land from many zany religious and political quarters. From such chaos and the fear terrorism generates in the populace the Democrat Party (with help from some Republicans) could establish an absolute dictatorship—the “fundamental transformation Barack Obama warned was his goal.
Once again, a member of the Ummah committing mass murder for Allah. Infidels must be killed, as his God commands. Psychopath.
The “Religion of Peace” strikes again.
So, what else is new?
Those practicing myzzlymz that want us to believe their religion is of peace – we are less and less believing them.
Conversely I go back to this Bible verse:
Genesis 16:12: “He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in defiance of all his brothers”.
This prophesy is true today more than in the past!
The prophecy is about Ishmael and his descendants. Some say that the prophecy signifies that Ishmael would be quarrelsome and warlike, and that his descendants would be given to rapine and plunder.
The prophecy is also said to be prophetically interesting in Islam, as Muhammad is called the prophet of the sword and traced his lineage back to Ishmael.
it not a jihad attack
nope this is completey false
it a domestic terrorist attack
The New Orleans PD, along with Mayor Cantrell, described the incident as a terrorist attack.[2][18] Jason Williams, the district attorney for Orleans Parish, said that “driving a vehicle into a crowd is not particularly a thing that any law enforcement agency can be prepared for”.[19]
