The New Year's Day terrorist attack in New Orleans was one of a series of mass murders in which Muslim terrorists rammed trucks into unsuspecting revelers.
Shamsuddin Jabbar, who displayed an ISIS flag on the Ford 150 pickup truck used in the attack, carried out at least a third similar attack. The New Orleans murders came on the heels of the December 20 terrorist attack by a Saudi Arabian “refugee” truck at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany.
It is unclear whether the New Orleans attack is related to the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Matthew Libersberger, an active duty Green Beret, was killed in the explosion.
“A passionate negotiator”
Hours after Jabbar drove into a pedestrian on Bourbon Street, crashed into a crane and died in a shootout with city police, a video was released claiming he was a property manager and real estate agent.
There was nothing in the video to suggest he was a deranged pro-ISIS terrorist who might do what he did yesterday.
Jabbar said he grew up in Beaumont, Texas but lived in Houston and spent his entire life in the Lone Star State, except for military trips.
He describes himself as a human resources and information technology specialist, where he explains, “What it means to have great service and what it means to be responsive, take everything seriously, dot the I's and cross the T's. ”, he said.
His ability as a “fierce negotiator” who “skillfully” markets properties is what sets him apart from other real estate agents, he said. And he will spend “all his energy” trying to “get the best possible deal” on your property. “Everything will go smoothly.”
Meanwhile, in a passport photo released by the FBI, Jabbar resembles the Central Casting terrorist, a man with a deathly look in his eyes. This is the type of person who would drive a car into 15 pedestrians and kill them.
According to Federal Election Commission records, Mr. Jabbar donated $20 ($15 in 2020 and $5 in 2014) to the far-left Act Blue campaign.
Authorities are investigating whether Mr. Jabbar and Mr. Leiblesberger are related.

A 20-year veteran of the Army, Libersberger “served as a soldier during the peak of U.S. military combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, deploying in numerous combats,” officials told USA Today.
The newspaper continued, “According to the Army, Mr. Leiblsberger enlisted as a special forces cadet in January 2006 and served on active duty until March 2011.''
He then joined the National Guard and Army Reserve from 2011 to December 2012. At that point, I returned to active duty in the Army as a Special Operations Soldier.
CBS reported that he had not heard from his wife for several days.
Jabbar and Libersberger rented a truck from the same car-sharing company, Turo. Both men served at Fort Bragg (now known as Fort Liberty) in North Carolina. However, the Associated Press reported that their time at the base did not overlap.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed in X that the Cybertruck rented by Reibsburger did not explode because of a malfunction. Rather, police found fireworks, mortars, gas canisters, and “other explosives” inside the truck, strongly suggesting a terrorist attack.
Libersberger rented a truck in Colorado and drove to Las Vegas.
“Due to the fact that this was a Cybertruck, most of the explosion was in the Cybertruck, so the damage that occurred inside the attendant was very limited,” Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said.
You can see that the front glass doors of the Trump Hotel were not destroyed by the explosion that was parked right in front of the hotel.
McMahill said Musk sent a video to authorities from the charging station.

Jabbar was not the first terrorist to carry out an apparently Islamist attack on a truck, and he will not be the last.
Five days before Christmas, German police arrested Taleb al-Abdelmohsen, a Saudi national, who broke into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. He landed in Germany in 2006 and was granted “refugee” status in 2016, according to CBS News.
Authorities claim Abdul Mohsen killed five people and injured 200 others. They believe he may be mentally ill. CBS also reported the same.
He has in the past expressed strong anti-Muslim views and far-right sympathies in social media posts, as well as anger at Germany for taking in too many Muslim war refugees and other asylum seekers. was.
If it's true that the problem is that there are too many Muslims in Germany, then there's no point in driving to Christmas markets.
Jabbar was also not the first ISIS attacker.
In 2016, Tunisian “asylum seeker” Anis Amri drove a semi-trailer truck into a Berlin Christmas market. He killed 12 people and injured 56 others. Police killed him in a shootout in Milan, Italy. ISIS claimed responsibility for the genocide.
Also in 2016, Tunisian Mohamed Lahoaie Bouhrel rammed a 19-ton cargo truck into people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice. He killed 86 people and injured 434. ISIS also claimed responsibility for the mass murder.
