Audio from Shamsud-Din Jabbar contains diatribes against music, drugs, sex and other sensuous pleasures

Summary

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in the New Orleans terrorist attack that killed 14 and injured 35, had long expressed extremist religious views, including condemning music, intoxicants, and other pleasures as evils.

Recordings and social media posts linked him to ISIS ideology, including plans to kill. Jabbar, a U.S.-born Army veteran, used a truck flying an ISIS flag and planted explosives near the attack site.

Authorities suspect he acted alone but are investigating further.

Officials emphasized resilience while condemning the violence and supporting victims.

      Smells a bit like they were handling him and panicked when they realized he was gearing up to kill people.

        Or, some Facepals reader sent them a video that took hours to get to the FBI who looked up to see the news reports.
