How The Biden FBI Let An ISIS Acolyte Slip Right Past Them

A political agenda combined with a lack of information on the New Orleans terrorist likely culminated in Shamsud-Din Jabbar escaping the FBI’s radar, former agents told the Caller. The terrorist who allegedly plowed a truck into a crowd on New Years pledged allegiance to ISIS, reportedly possessed an ISIS flag, and even traveled to Egypt — yet no action was taken by the FBI for months.

Jabbar was identified by authorities as the driver of the Ford pickup truck that rammed through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans last Wednesday morning, killing 15 people. He was subsequently killed by police in a shootout.

After initial reports that claimed Jabbar had accomplices, the FBI stated the next day he acted alone. The bureau found an ISIS flag, weapons, and potential IEDs in Jabbar’s vehicle.

The Caller asked former FBI agents how the agency seemingly took no action for months despite numerous glaring red flags.

Feds Reveal Sinister Reason Why Bourbon Street Terror Suspect Tried to Torch Airbnb

The driver behind the deadly terrorist New Years’ attack in New Orleans set fire to his rental property in an effort to destroy bomb-making evidence prior to the attack, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) said.

In a joint statement on Friday, the agencies revealed that they believe 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar set a small fire in the hallway of his rented Airbnb before the attack, and “strategically placed accelerants throughout the house in his effort to destroy it and other evidence of his crime.” But they said the fire burned itself out before spreading to other rooms.

The smoldering of the fire allowed the FBI to recover evidence from the rented Airbnb, including “pre-cursors for bomb-making material and a privately made device suspected of being a silencer for a rifle,” the agencies said.

The FBI and the ATF also revealed new information on Jabbar’s movements prior to driving a high-speed vehicle down the popular Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day. (Read more from “Feds Reveal Sinister Reason Why Bourbon Street Terror Suspect Tried to Torch Airbnb” HERE)

Sibling of Suspect in Bourbon Street Bloodbath Unravels Terrorist’s Descent Into Radicalization Ahead of Attack; FBI Does Another 180, Claims Attacker Worked Alone Day After Conducting Manhunt For Accomplices

By Fox News. The half-brother of the terrorist suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar blamed radicalization for the attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans.

Fox News spoke with Abdur Rahim-Jabbar in Beaumont, Texas, where they grew up alongside three additional siblings.

Abdur said that they grew up Muslim, along with his whole family. He said that Jabbar stepped away from Islam, but found his way back following his 2022 divorce.

Jabbar struggled to find himself throughout his life, his half-brother told Fox News. He said that his half-brother joined the army to “find something, to set him straight, ground him, and maybe find a viable career path.” . . .

His half-brother blamed radicalization for the attack and said that he did not see any signs prior to the attack, as well as expressing his condolences for the 15 lives lost.

FBI Does Another 180, Claims New Orleans Attacker Worked Alone Day After Conducting Manhunt For Accomplices

By Daily Caller. The FBI said Thursday the suspect in New Orleans’ terrorist attack on New Year’s Day acted alone despite previous reports of potential accomplices.

Officials identified Shamsud-Din Jabbar as the driver of a Ford pickup truck that plowed through a Bourbon Street crowd early Wednesday morning. Police killed Jabbar, who reportedly possessed an ISIS flag in the vehicle, in a shootout shortly thereafter.

“We do not asses, at this point, that anyone else is involved in this attack except for Shamsud-Din Jabbar,” FBI Counterterrorism Division Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said in a press conference.

The FBI reviewed surveillance footage showing Jabbar, a Texas-born U.S. citizen, placing improvised explosive devices (IED), two of which FBI bomb technicians recovered from coolers on streets surrounding the area attacked. Following their review, authorities concluded that no one else was involved in Jabbar’s attack.

“We’re confident at this point that there are no other accomplices,” Raia reiterated later in the press conference. (Read more from “FBI Does Another 180, Claims New Orleans Attacker Worked Alone Day After Conducting Manhunt For Accomplices” HERE)

New Orleans Terrorist Wanted to Kill His Family, but Backed Off for Agenda-Driven Reason

By WND. The New Orleans terrorist, Shamsud Din Jabbar, being blamed now for the deaths of 15 and injuries to dozens after he drove a truck through the crowded streets of New Orleans early New Year’s Day, had wanted to harm his family too.

But he backed off because he was concerned that the horror over that news would overshadow what he called the “war between believers & disbelievers.”

Evidence is showing that the onetime soldier was radicalized into Islam, and was taking the Quran’s instructions to destroy those who don’t follow Islam’s ideologies literally.

NYE Terror: 15 Dead, 30 Injured After Man Rams Truck Into New Orleans Crowd; Suspect Identified as Former US Army Soldier Who Deployed to Afghanistan

By The Blaze. Authorities have identified the now-deceased suspect in the New Year’s Day New Orleans massacre as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas. The FBI has also indicated that agents do not believe Jabbar was acting “solely alone” and are pursuing leads into Jabbar’s friends and associates currently.

Jabbar reportedly served in the Army on active duty from 2007 through 2015 and then in the reserves from 2015 through 2020. He was reportedly a human resources and information technology specialist who deployed once to Afghanistan from February 2009 through January 2010.

Officials are still piecing together information about the attack, but they indicated that they found a series of recordings made by Jabbar that were apparently made while he was driving from his home in Texas to Louisiana, where he committed his heinous crimes. In the videos, Jabbar reportedly talked about his decision to join ISIS and apparently referenced several dreams he had that led him to align with the infamous terror group.

Earlier in the day Wednesday, FBI officials confirmed that Jabbar had an ISIS flag on him at the time of the attack. Although the FBI has now confirmed that this is being investigated as an act of terrorism, the first public statement made by the FBI mysteriously and flatly stated that this was “not a terrorist event.” (Read more from “Suspect in New Orleans Massacre Identified as Former US Army Soldier Who Deployed to Afghanistan” HERE)

Viewers Noticed Something off About This Recent VP Harris Interview (VIDEO)

Vice President Kamala Harris was interviewed by Keke Palmer in New Orleans, Louisiana over the weekend as part of Essence Festival, but the bright lights and official backdrop behind the two women couldn’t distract from one problem: Louisiana was misspelled on the official signage.

Yep, whether it was Essence Fest or the West Wing that had final approval over the backdrop, the typo went unnoticed by everyone…until it was too late. There, as Harris and Palmer talked about the state of the country (more on that later), was LOUSIANA in giant letters over the vice president like the midterms loom over her party.

Woman Arrested for Entering Airport Naked Amidst Coronavirus Lockdown

. . .A woman was recently arrested after allegedly arriving at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans completely naked. According to local reports, she refused to leave when the airport staff told her that she could not fly with no clothes on.

Mariel Vergara, a 27-year-old from Pueblo, Colo., walked into the airport naked and approached the Spirit Airlines counter on April 4th, NOLA.com reports. Authorities were called to the scene and by the time they arrived, Vergara had reportedly put on a dress.

A deputy on the scene, however, reportedly said Vergara was not wearing underwear and that the dress did not properly cover her up. This meant that she was still violating public decency laws. . .

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says that on April 4th, Vergara was charged with obscenity, resisting an officer, battery of a police officer, simple battery and remaining in the airport after being forbidden.
