Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

After Initial Denial, FBI Now Admits New Orleans Attack was Terrorism

By

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.

Comments

  1. I’m so relieved that this is not an Islamic attack and that the driver is a mentally-ill person who just happens to be a Muslim.

  2. Um, about that black flag on the attack truck…did it have any squiggly white markings on it?

  3. If it looks like a duck walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is probably not Islamic terrorism.

  4. Regarding the black coat on the flag pole – this guy just came over the border at Eagle Pass, Texas two days ago. Within 48 hours he had a truck, a firearm, ammo and (apparently) IEDs. Clearly someone else had set all this up for him and he just went to a drop site and collected it. That someone else also likely installed the flag pole.

    Assuming this was indeed a jihad operation, which seems highly probable, the final touch would have been an ISIS flag on the pole. These aren’t so easy to find in Texas and time to New Year’s eve was running short, so they used the handiest black textile – a black coat. Allah knew what they meant.

  5. Newsmax just reported the Islamic terrorist’s name. Quoted from NOLA website. Muslim terrorist just as we thought. Plus he probably did not act alone.

  6. A black flag can refer to various symbols, including the Anarchist black flag, the Jolly Roger associated with piracy, or the Black Standard in Islamic tradition. I truly out is was a pirate flag.

    • Typo I truly DOUBT it was a pirate flag or a black flag used for used in racing to signal a disqualification or warning.

      Be prepared or more of this.

    • If the black flag has the shehada written on it in Arabic, it’s an ISIS flag. That’s the dark mode version. If it’s the inverse i.e. a white flag w/ the shehada in black fonts, then it is a Taliban flag instead

  7. Oct. 7, 2023, set off the global attacks by Muslims the world over, time to wake up and prepare for more attacks for they are more embolden to seize nations with more terror attacks.

    Keep the powder dry and loaded at all times, don’t know where or when but best be prepared.

  8. It looks Islamic:

    Ten people were killed and 30 others injured after the white Ford SUV, driven by Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, drove into pedestrians ringing in 2025 in New Orleans’ French Quarter Wednesday around 3.15am local time, Nola.com reported.

    • A black, former US soldier, born in the US? Something is inconsistent about the notion of an ISIS flag. We’ll eventually get a better picture from New Orleans despite any 3-letter agencies.

      • Westman, his brother also has a Muslim name. I don’t know yet, but my guess would be the family is Black Muslim. Many now are switching to more mainsdtream Sunni Islam–and that could include the Islamic State.

  9. Also, from UK Sun newspaper:
    Eyewitnesses said Din Jabbar got out of the truck wearing full body armor and wielding an assault rifle.

    He is reported to be a 42-year-old American citizen born and raised in Texas who formerly served in the US Army.

  10. When the NAME and a PHOTOGRAPH of the Perpetrator is not immediately released to the Public,
    That tells You it’s a 99% certainty that it’s not a White Person.

  11. I remember when the Danforth shooter in Toronto shot and killed 18 year old Reese Fallon and 10 year old Julianna Kozis and wounded 13 others, then killed himself. Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Ralph Goodale told Canadians not to jump to conclusions.

    Days later we learned the shooter was 29 year old Faisal Hussain. He started attending Mosque with his father but did not seem to be interested in religion. After a year long investigation, police could not determine a motive for the attack.

  12. ooh ! an other guy that misunderstood “the-religion-of-peace” !

    • Hang on, didn’t Joe Biden say right wing white nationalists are the number one terror threat? I think the FBI didn’t like it when they found out who this guy was.

  13. I went to do laundry and am just now even learning of this. My God, it’s the first day of the year and this starts. And since I have ZERO trust in the FBI, I can’t trust anything they say about anything.

  14. The FBI ain’t what it used to be thanks to people like Obama, Biden, Comey and Wray.

  15. Democrats lie and deceive to protect Islam and its Muslims. Another Muslim is following the teachings of Allah and the Quran. Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they k i l l and are k i l led…”. Allah in Qur’an 8:12 says, “When your lord revealed to the angels: ‘I am with you so make firm those who believed[Muslims]. I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who became infidels[Non-Muslims]. So strike above their necks(decapitation), and strike off(chop off) every finger from them.’” Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”

  16. “After Initial Denial, FBI Now Admits New Orleans Attack was Terrorism”

    Yes of course, he must be a Muslim who is practicing the Koran and the sharia law as is.

    To protect our country:

    We must have a new definition for the constitution concerning:
    Human rights, democracy and freedom who are using by Muslims for their own target to murder the citizens and to ruin the country.

    Deal with Muslims same what their Muslims countries are dealing with them: NO HUMAN RIGHTS, NO DEMOCRACY, NO FREEDOM.

    We must have a law for all the States any Muslim make terrorist crimes concerning the Koran and the sharia law of his Islam religion must have a death penalty in 72 hours. And deport all his family back to their Muslim country.

    The western countries have more than enough of Muslims. Stop to accept Muslims and open the door for different faith except Muslims.

    the President of Polish is a hero who insist to refuse to accept three Muslims, in time he accepted as migrants 2 million from Ukraine who are living with no problem no murder, no rapping, no stealing, no kidnapping.

    All the Mosques must be closed all the week and be opened only on Fridays for 45 minutes.

    We are in war against the most dangerous terrorists in the world who are taking their Islam religion as evidence for all their crimes.

    If only 10% of the Muslims believe to practice what is in the Koran and the sharia law means we have in USA more than 500 thousand Muslims terrorists.

    Deal with Muslims same what their Muslims countries are dealing with them: NO HUMAN RIGHTS, NO DEMOCRACY, NO FREEDOM.

    “Less Muslims, less crimes, more secure.”

    “Every Muslim is a timing bomb.”

    “Our enemies who are living in USA are more danger, than our enemies who are not living in USA.”

    “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.”
