The driver rammed into the large group at high speed, then got out and started firing a weapon, witnesses said. Investigators later added that they found what appeared to be improvised explosives at the crash site that did not detonate.
Quote
Witnesses claim the suspect was 'wearing full body armor' and 'armed with an assault rifle', and officials said he was 'trying to run over as many people as he possibly could'.

NO police amd the mayor are calling this a terrorist attack.
The FBI has said "hold on there, we don't know that" which probably means the guy doesn't match their terrorist profile if you catch my drift.

Quote
At a press conference, New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell described the incident as a 'terrorist attack', which prompted the FBI to say shortly later that the bureau was not treating it as a terrorist attack.

Withholding judgement on the profile part until we know more.

BUT . . .
Murder one rich corporate CEO - terrorist attack.
Murder ten (or more) people and injure at least 30 more - maybe not a terrorist attack.

Got it.

Terrible event, but the after-action verbal gymnastics local and Federal spokespeople will be going through may be enlightening.

CNN on the matter

Quote
It’s possible the mayor used the term “terrorist attack” colloquially – without reflecting the FBI’s formal definition for terrorism, said Juliette Kayyem, CNN’s national security, intelligence and terrorism analyst.

“This is an act of terror in the sense that it is terrorizing a city. Ten people are dead. The city is closed down. And the mayor may have been using … the term “terror” as a reflection and a description of what this kind of violence does to a city, regardless of the perpetrator’s intent,” Kayyem said.
Quote
The FBI defines domestic terrorism as “violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

I can see their point but will note how quickly they labeled other events "terrorism" in the past.

And an update on that very matter and they are now treating it as an act of terrorism
The above links and quotes proabily hadn't updated on that yet

Quote
Breaking Update 8:19 a.m.: The FBI has taken over the investigation into a mass casualty incident on Bourbon Street, now being treated as an act of terrorism. The attack left at least 10 people dead and 35 injured after a suspect intentionally drove a truck into a crowd early New Year's Day.

Photo floating around showing what appears to be MAYBE an ISIS flag on the truck

Note: Some of the comments then show photos where they claim it's not there in those but if you look close it's there just hard to see.

Please note I'm not saying conclusively it is an ISIS flag just that it could be based on limited the views we have gotten of it so far.

Being that they are so invested in hiding the name I’m sure it is a “couldn’t possibly get any more peaceful” middle easterner, of the same type we are flooding the country with.

Truck reportedly crossed the border from Mexico a couple of days ago.

@CurtisHouck
BREAKING: Fox News reports sources as having told them the truck in the likely terror attack on New Orleans during New Year's Eve celebrations came up FROM Mexico and INTO the U.S. from Eagle Pass, Texas two days ago

https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1874488094717612171

Be interesting to find out if he was on any terror watch lists and yet still allowed to cross the border

According to this the city chose not to raise the steel barriers to Borboun Street last night that were installed to prevent this very thing from happening

Edit: Now I'm seeing reports suggesting the city was working on them

Killer driver identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar

He grew up in Texas and had been in the military for a decade, sources told The Post.

He had what appeared to be an "Islamic caliphate or ISIS" flag on his truck at the time of the attack, police sources told The Post.

Well, I guess this story will disappear. Unless - the truck was white. What is the background of the truck?

Apparently they found more IEDs

Quote
More explosive devices found in other areas of French Quarter

The FBI said they have found other potential explosive devices - separate from those found inside the van used to kill 10 people.

Officials have asked that people stay away from the beloved area as the probe continues.

Federal detectives are working to determine 'potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.'
