15 people were killed and at least 35 injured after a man drove into large crowds in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the early hours of New Yearโs Day.
US investigators believe the suspect who was killed by police was not acting alone. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old US citizen, is believed to have driven a pickup truck into a crowd on a busy New Orleans street, before exiting the vehicle and firing a weapon. He was shot dead by police at the scene.
The FBI says an Islamic State group flag was found inside the vehicle he was driving, while two improvised explosive devices were found nearby. FBI assistant special agent Alethea Duncan said the agency did not believe Jabbar was โsolely responsibleโ and were investigating the incident as an โact of terrorismโ.
Jabbar was born in Texas and previously served in the US Army. He also appears to have worked in real estate, holding a license that expired in 2021. He had a criminal record, relating to traffic offences and theft.

Dear Muslims, just like I did today, you should file a legal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office in the countries you live in for sexual harassment, insults, deliberately changing the words in the verses, distorting the facts, disinformation and slanderous posts against Muslims. Not knowing it to the local police, the Prosecutor's Office and the FBI is itself a crime of negligence.Dear Muslims, you should file a legal lawsuit and file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor's office in your country for the vampire psychopaths in this group, who abuse the freedom of expression, insult Muslims, threaten them with terrorism, share derogatory posts, deliberately change the words in the verses against Muslims and Islam, distort the facts and give disinformation information, and slander and smear campaign.
Both attacks were acts of terror but the fact of the matter is mental health is serious with soldiers after war. The military has got to do better on getting these guys help before they are released.
Look at the Imam from Houston. He's preaching hate.
And these SOBs have the damn nerve to call out Islamophobia smh… how can people be not afraid of this filthy community. โช๏ธancer.
Is called islam
Here is another assignment for BBC: Ccommission Adrian Zenz to concoct more stories such as 3 million Muslims genocided and put in concentration camps in Texas and Guantanamo. (โ. . .they were freedom fighters in Xinjiang. . .โ, werenโt they?)
A BIG FACT ANY TERRORIST IS NOT MUSLIM HES AGAINST OUR BOOK AND RELIGION ANY ONE WHO COMMIT SUSH A THHING AND CLAIM HES A MUSLIM HES ABVIOUSLY LYING , OUR RELIGION DON'T ENCURAGE FOR TRRORISM
His skin is brown. Thats all that needs to be said.
Terrorism does not have one religion Christians go all around the world in the name of God, conquering and killing other nations every air of nation they think that their Christian religion is better than the way Muslims wanna run a joint. Everybody thinks they right and nobody thinks theyโre wrong is the reason why they will always be men and women, dying, and children being left alone
I wanna know how itโs too graphic to show, but they showed Fernando Castilloโs body and show George Floyd getting nailed on High is that not too graphic I bet you those blue out buddies are white bodies
I know plenty of leftards who lit up social media about 'right wing thugs' during last years disturbances ( a few windows smashed etc)…not a peep will you hear about these killings and butchery…not a peep. Why? It's not a virtue signal and it's ideologically impure.
They are moral and constitutional degenerates…and they know it.
"He was acting alone… no wait, he wasn't acting alone. It wasn't a terrorist attack… no wait, it was. He wasn't a muslim though… no wait, he was a muslim. Stop spreading right-wing misinformation you racist Islamophobe." ๐
It's crazy how people support Palestine in the US and elsewhere. Wake up people! Palestines are mooslims or they behave the same way as the mooslims. They don't like any of you
Open borders
Thatโs not the face of a terroristโฆ weird
I want our gov to round up immigrants and send them home. People want our dream but not US. We want them out to go fix their own country of origin. I am a 500bc North AmeRican and my ancestors that shook with the English American approve this message. ๐ ๐ฏ
I just heard Israel has approved spending 150million on its PR and then this news right after. Hmmmm… Timing seems very suspicious. Truth is stranger than fiction my friends
You forget to put IRAN, China, Russia and North Korea flag ehehhe
RELIGION OF PEACE STRIKES AGAIN! ๐
Why must they keep showing his evil face
Musk is about to colonize mars with immigrants. My best advice is to go home. Learn from the Jewish Holocaust. Dont get transported by any gov. You have been warned. The English American is about to go ape shat. ๐๐๐ US natural born citizens are rooting for the Englishman to put North Americans first. The globe needs to leave. On day one, Trump is clapping. No hotel stays on US taxpayers. Go home. ๐ ๐ฏโ๏ธ
Free Palestine ๐ต๐ธ
A sane man turns into a terrorist and a barbarian after he converted to islam…..
BBC supports islamists. If it had anything to do with far-right, BBC would have mentioned far-right every alternate word. But here they don't want to use the word terrorist or muslim, but army veteran
There is a Quote

They r using We:st:ern nations to a:ttack Pa:lest:inians.

This terrorist attack is not an attack by Islamists. ISIS is a US and Mossad project. Eyewitnesses report that the ISIS flag was put on the vehicle later.You may not let Muslims into your homes, but you should get out of Muslim homes and lands. Do not occupy and exploit their lands.
Is it any wonder there is mass distrust for anyone with an arab sounding name.
BBC journalist are bunch of jokers…
It's funny how this happened a few weeks after it happened in Germany.. when the world found out that the guy in Germany was anti-Islam the government/Zionist/ devils had to come up with something quickly to get the world back to thinking muslims are terrorist again…
So here you go people! It's funny how that found a islamic state flag in the vehicle ๐
What a joke!
Ban the practice of that religion that promotes terrorism and death in christian lands
Wherever Muslims go, they destroy the place after they leave.
Yeah those radicalized trucks are just awful ๐.
wonder what the first I in ISIS stands for…hmmm i wonder
THIS AN ALARM FOR ALL WESTERNERS FROM 7TH CENTURY ARABIC BARBARIC ISLAMIST IDEOLOGY….DON'T BE LATE !!!!
BBC and the West stop tarnishing the name of Islam โช๏ธ whenever attacks are made across the globe ๐ we know you very well
Great mother Isis, the goddess of healing and magic, was crucial to ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. She is known today by her Greek name Isis; however, the ancient Egyptians called her Aset. Her name translates to โQueen of the Throneโ which is reflected in her headdress, which is typically a throne.
0:15 BELIEVED?? There's cctv footage and hundreds of witnesses
His real name was Michael M. R. Sylvester!
In Islam, it's a major sin to harm innocent people. Some scholars believe terrorists shouldn't be called Muslims as it goes against Islamic teachings. I've heard various theories, especially during Trump's presidency, where the focus was often on ISIS and Muslims due to his negative views. Considering the person's military background, who knows if their actions were influenced by the government. Some suggest it could be linked to Trump's Pro-Israel stance, attempting to tarnish Islam's image, though this theory may not hold up. Blaming individuals, not the religion, is crucial. While some may wrongly associate these actions with Islam, the religion doesn't endorse such behavior. Media portrayal can be misleading. These terrorist groups are misguided, thinking they act in God's name but actually commit sins. Islam advocates peace, and most Muslims disown such acts. It's frustrating how the media often blames Islam. All terrorist groups deviate from Islamic principles. Im an American who knows many great Muslims. Iโm ashamed that people like this even do such things. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
What does his religion have to do with this? His ethnicity? Anyone can do horrible, horrible things
