Sources within both the FBI and New Orleans Police Department tell ABC News that it appears that scumbag terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar acted alone in executing Wednesday morning’s massacre in the city’s French Quarter that left at least 15 New Year’s revelers dead and dozens more injured.
There had been some questions over whether the asshole had accomplices in the neighborhood given the number of IEDs found in the area – none of which detonated, despite being “viable” – but investigators have determined Jabbar planted those himself prior to launching the attack.
Officials have not yet however been able to come to any conclusions as to whether Jabbar had received any sort of financial or material support in the lead-up to the attack or if this really was a lone wolf incident, that Jabbar paid for the truck rental, acquired the body armor and guns with his own money, built the bombs himself, and so on. The cops and feds might do well to figure out the provenance of the ISIS flag Jabbar flew on the back of the truck. If it was a plain black flag, painted by hand or a custom iron-on using specialized but relatively inexpensive printers, or made at Staples by some 19 year-old stoner employee who’s never even heard of ISIS much less seen their flag and thus wouldn’t report the job to anyone, or some other prosaic origin, then that’ll be the end of that thread. But if the fibers, dyes, ink used for the emblem, and so on are materially consistent with flags flown on the ground on their home turf then that’ll be considerably more interesting.
Because that flag, along with his name, are really the only things that make Jabbar all that different from your average Oath Keeper, Patriot Front, Atomwaffen, Identity Evropa, III Percenters, etc. Well maybe the EV pickup truck too. The “patriots” wouldn’t be caught dead driving around in one of those, even if the guns, bombs, camouflage gear, and body armor are all standard for them.
