The Army veteran who drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans acted alone, the FBI said Thursday, reversing its position from a day earlier that he likely worked with others in the deadly attack that officials said was inspired by the Islamic State group.
The FBI also revealed that the driver, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an American citizen from Texas, posted five videos on his Facebook account in the hours before the attack in which he proclaimed his support for the militant group and previewed the violence that he would soon unleash in the famed French Quarter district.
“This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act,” said Christopher Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, calling Jabbar “100% inspired” by the Islamic State.
The attack along Bourbon Street killed 14 revelers, along with Jabbar, who was fatally shot in a firefight with police after steering his speeding truck around a barricade and plowing into the crowd.

The city of New Orleans is going to be sued by every single family who lost a loved one.

Go investigate one of your own city departments who already let you know they didnt work because the city hired contractors to renovate the mechanical barrier system. Im gunna guess it was locked out, which is federal and state law when ever someone works on or is affected by hazarous energy sources. It wasnt "with the superbowl coming they should have known". It was BECAUSE the superbowl was upcoming they were gettin it done. Without a superbowl i wonder if the city would even had sceduled the repairs. The killer did this, not city leaders, but you asked how and the answers in yolls own city hall.
Girl with the red hair you should probably play the lottery cause wow you were almost outta here
That 70 year old life long liberal chief of police is below a piece of 💩
She she be in prison
And the mayor is…. An I don’t give a damn democrat
Has anyone been fired yet ? I didn't think so .
It seems to always come down to people not doing the job they are paid to do but I read they were going to make sure the bollards-just learned what those are tonight-were up by the time of the superbowl!🤨
But anybody can throw grenades in the crowd all that stuff……
Because the FBI and governments are too busy with other useless shit.
All this blaming on anybody but the dude driving is ridiculous. You don't blame the knife that the murderer uses. And you don't blame the front door the murderer walked through.
That’s why you don’t hire leftists to run a police department. The dei police chief of New Orleans is a moron.
The maker of the archers said she’s using them incorrectly and are basically useless the way Kilpratrick set them up. This was reported by Fox News
When people are protesting death to America while in America and shouting for violence against non believers,what do you think the next step was i cant say in surprised its just going to get worse
✅THE POINT IS YOU DIDNT HAVE SUFFICIENT SAFETY BARRIERS IN PLACE. NO SENSE IN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY. IT IS SIMPLE, IT WAS NOT DONE.
Happened in germany too
The lady mayor and the lady police chief should go to jail and be sued.
The red head escaped by mere inches.
The red head was probably microseconds away from death
Chocolate City…..itll get fixed under these GREAT leaders.
2 rental vehicle attacks. 2 military men out of Fort Bragg. Both served in Afghanistan. The armed forces has got to do better for troops on mental health issues. The fact these attacks were done by ex military highlights the extreme issues we have in the us.
Background checks when purchasing vehicles too? 😂 (sarcasm)
Soo. Any major city that has big NYE festivities has to have physical cordons that can actually physically stop a vehicle moving at a high speed through them.
That doesn't sound financially feasible for the potential risk.
At that, point all major cities should just cancel all major festivities, just to deter a potential attack from whomever or whatever, rather than the city paying for impossible security measures.
Just think of all the people who he would have killed if he waited before midnight.
Bollards. Thats the problem.
Gov along with Israel set this along up to brainwash us to go into war in the Middle East even if it was American soldiers one with a Hebrew alias.
It is usually reactive responses from the authorities
Louisiana is a blue state. That means Democrat ran, big government, big taxes. But they don’t have enough money for a piece of concrete the with of a log 3 feet high? Maybe Harris spent it on Beyoncé to twerk at a dance party.
Why would people move the coolers 1 block?
No esoteric where injured during the making of this disaster….or was it…
Are they (trump and his brain dead supporters) still blaming illegals and, oh the border
There was a muslim man named karem al badwai unalived in this accident but why dont the media and islamophobics talk about him !!
happens everyday in China
Radical islam ruins the world.
Did they find Prentiss?
The govt does whatever the Jesuits tell them to do. Theyre order followers plain and simple. Man know thyself and know thine enemy!!!!! It aint muslims. Its their enemy!!!!
Crazy how Covid 19 comments where flagged right away and deleted from social media and this guy posted a few hours before it happened and never got flagged
Let’s stop paying taxes
Hmmmm isn't it strange that a surveillance camera follows and zooms up on the very truck that did the killing before it did the killing?? smh.
