A jihadist from Texas committed a terrorist attack in New Orleans
The suspect accused of plowing a truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning has been identified by a law enforcement source and confirmed by the FBI as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar.A prominent FBI official used the now classic cliche that it "wasn't a terrorist attack". Even though some explosive devices were found, and the mayor of New Orleans made clear it was a terrorist attack. This is absolutely terrible, and makes clear the USA must combat the problem of jihadists living within.
Police fatally shot him after the attack, which killed 10 people and injured 35.
The FBI said in a statement midday Wednesday that Jabbar is a U.S. citizen from Texas.
The FBI confirmed that Jabbar was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck, and authorities have said he was dressed in military gear. The FBI said they also found weapons and a potential IED were located in his vehicle.
Jabbar was driving a Ford pickup truck. The FBI said the truck appeared to be rented.
Law enforcement said they are investigating the possibility that the attack involved multiple suspects. They are looking into whether a different suspect rented the truck used in the attack.
Update: The Daily Wire found that the criminal donated to Democrats.
