10 Questions We Should All Be Asking About The New Year’s Day Terror Attacks<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

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

As Michael Snyder highlights, via The Economic Collapse blog, <\/strong><\/em><\/a>our \u201cnew\u201d golden era of \u201cpeace and safety\u201d has been very rudely interrupted by the \u201cold\u201d problem of Islamic terror. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Of course the truth is that it is a problem that never went away. \u00a0<\/p>\n

There were dozens of major terror attacks\u00a0in 2024<\/a>, but most of the population is not going to pay attention unless something happens within our own borders. \u00a0Sadly, everyone is paying attention now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very early on New Year\u2019s Day, a 42-year-old nut named Shamsud-Din Jabbar rammed a truck into a large crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. \u00a0We are being told that 15 people are dead and\u00a0dozens more are injured<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

A man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans\u2019 French Quarter early on New Year\u2019s Day, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens of others, officials said.<\/p>\n

A black ISIS flag was flying from the truck\u2019s rear bumper, and the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.<\/p>\n

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

So was this the end, or is this just the beginning?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The following are 10 questions that we should all be asking about the chaotic New Year\u2019s Day terror attacks\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1<\/strong>\u00a0Why did an FBI special agent initially tell us that the attack in New Orleans \u201cwas not a terrorist event\u201d? \u00a0Something about all this\u00a0does not smell right<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Multiple sources are reporting that the attacker in the deadly New Orleans attack that killed 10 people and injured dozens more was carrying an ISIS flag at the time of the attack, leading many to question how and why an FBI special agent confidently declared that the attack was \u201cnot a terrorist event\u201d early on in the investigation.<\/p>\n

Witnesses indicated that the attacker was flying a \u201clarge black flag\u201d from his truck at the time of the attack, which would be consistent with a description of the ISIS flag. The FBI has since confirmed that the flag was, indeed, an ISIS flag, leading many to harshly criticize the FBI\u2019s initial response to the attack, which flatly denied any connection to terrorism.<\/p>\n

#2<\/strong>\u00a0What happened to the other \u201cpotential IEDs\u201d that law enforcement found in the French Quarter? \u00a0The following is\u00a0an excerpt<\/a>\u00a0from an official statement by the FBI\u2026<\/p>\n

Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject\u2019s vehicle. Other potential IEDs were also located in the French Quarter. The FBI\u2019s special agent bomb technicians are working with our law enforcement partners to determine if any of these devices are viable, and they will work to render those devices safe.<\/p>\n

#3<\/strong>\u00a0Shamsud-Din Jabbar\u00a0had threatened to kill his own family<\/a>\u00a0before joining ISIS with the intention of committing terrorism on U.S. soil. \u00a0Did law enforcement know about any of this beforehand? \u00a0If so, why was nothing done?\u2026<\/p>\n

In a series of videos, the suspect in the deadly New Year\u2019s attack in New Orleans discussed planning to kill his family and having dreams that helped inspire him to join ISIS, according to multiple officials briefed on the investigation.<\/p>\n

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the 42-year-old man who police suspect drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more, made the chilling recordings while driving from his home in Texas to Louisiana, authorities believe.<\/p>\n

Jabbar, a US citizen and Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, made reference in the videos to his divorce and how he had at first planned to gather his family for a \u201ccelebration\u201d with the intention of killing them, two officials who had been briefed on the recordings said. But Jabbar said in the videos that he changed his plans and joined ISIS, and referenced several dreams that he had about why he should be joining the terrorist group, according to the officials.<\/p>\n

#4<\/strong>\u00a0Did Shamsud-Din Jabbar act alone? \u00a0From the evidence that we have at this hour, it appears that he\u00a0probably was not<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

From the first news of the attack, Islamic State websites have been echoing with sick celebrations of the attack. This alone suggests that it was not the work of a lone wolf claiming to be an agent of IS, but was in fact organised from abroad by its underground HQ in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The fact that investigators found guns and concealed pipe bombs wired for remote detonation \u2013 as well as a corresponding remote control device inside the truck \u2013 was enough for the FBI to declare it does not believe the driver was acting alone.<\/p>\n

#5<\/strong>\u00a0A Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas\u00a0on Wednesday morning<\/a>. \u00a0Was this attack linked to the attack in New Orleans?\u2026<\/p>\n

A Tesla Cybertruck burst into flames Wednesday morning just outside the entrance of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring several other people, local officials said.<\/p>\n

The explosion is now being investigated as a possible terrorist attack, three senior members of law enforcement briefed on the matter told NBC News. A motive has yet to be established.<\/p>\n

#6<\/strong>\u00a0Who made the\u00a0\u201cmakeshift explosives\u201d<\/a>\u00a0that caused the Tesla Cybertruck to explode?\u2026<\/p>\n

Police have released a series of photographs from inside the Cybertruck which blew up outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, revealing an arsenal of makeshift explosives.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Elon Musk-owned Tesla Cybertruck, who has not yet been formally identified, died in the explosion and seven members of the public were injured.<\/p>\n

Charred fireworks, gas cannisters and camping fuel were found in the bed of the truck when authorities were finally able to put out the fire.<\/p>\n

#7<\/strong>\u00a0The Ford truck used in the New Orleans attack and the Cybertruck used in the Las Vegas attack were both rented from Turo. \u00a0Is this\u00a0an important clue?<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Musk claimed the Cybertruck and the Ford used in the New Orleans attack had both been rented by the same company.<\/p>\n

He posted on his X platform: \u201cAppears likely to be an act of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth this Cybertruck and the F-150 suicide bomb in New Orleans were rented from Turo. Perhaps they are linked in some way.\u201d<\/p>\n

#8<\/strong>\u00a0Why are vehicles being used in so many Islamic terror attacks now? \u00a0According\u00a0to USA Today<\/a>, vehicle attacks have been \u201ckilling and injuring thousands of people internationally\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

Cheap and simple vehicle-based attacks have rapidly become one of the deadliest forms of terror assaults worldwide, killing and injuring thousands of people internationally since they began becoming more frequent after the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Experts say a combination of factors have increased the number of vehicle attacks in recent years, notably the increased focus on outdoor events after the pandemic, ease of access to trucks or cars, and the uncomplicated nature of the approach itself.<\/p>\n

#9<\/strong>\u00a0What policies will the incoming Trump administration enact in response to these attacks? \u00a0On Truth Social, Trump\u00a0sounded very angry<\/a>\u00a0following the attack in New Orleans\u2026<\/p>\n

When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!<\/p>\n

#10<\/strong>\u00a0Are more terror attacks coming? \u00a0Thanks to years of very foolish policies, we now have vast numbers of people living in the U.S. that are supportive of terror organizations. \u00a0For example, just 12 hours after the attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, a \u201cmassive crowd of Hamas supporters\u201d conducted\u00a0a very large protest in Manhattan<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

A massive crowd of Hamas supporters has taken over downtown Manhattan, NYC calling for a global intifada.<\/p>\n

12 hours from the tragedy in New Orleans and Las Vegas and these people are doing this.<\/p>\n

Do they have no shame?<\/p>\n

As I alluded to in my headline, we were warned that this was coming.<\/p>\n

Now it is here.<\/p>\n

I am entirely convinced that a lot more chaos and a lot more violence are on the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are far more vulnerable than most people realize, and the next time you find yourself in a crowded place I would recommend being in a constant state of high alert.<\/p>\n
