Summary
The New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans, where US army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed 14 and injured dozens in an ISIS-inspired car-ramming and shooting, has reignited concerns about the Islamic State’s (IS) resurgence in the US.
Authorities found IS propaganda in Jabbar’s possession, and he had pledged allegiance online before the attack.
Analysts warn that IS rhetoric encouraging low-tech, lone-wolf tactics has surged.
Though US law enforcement has thwarted several IS-linked plots in 2024, the attack highlights challenges in preventing such operations and deterring potential copycats emboldened by online propaganda.
Should start checking college campuses for terrorist supporters and sympathizers.
I’m pretty sure we’re actually more worried about the white supremacists terrorists… What an outrageously out of touch article.
AP ran a similar headline: “New Orleans attack came as officials warned of an escalating threat of international terrorism”.
The guy was a natural born citizen and an army vet. He’s “inspired by” IS the same way Trump is “inspired by” a failed Austrian artist with a toothbrush mustache.
You and I are worried. However the FBI keeps releasing these reports but doing nothing about it.
I wanted to compare the numbers of people died or injured on US soils due to terrorism vs lack of health insurance since 9/11 … I believe the concern will shift after that.
Either way it’s right wing terrorism.
They’re either waaay out of touch or attempting to twist the narrative away from the idea that it’s United States citizens that are pissed off and taking action.
Which will lead to a new Muslim ban by Trump. Watch.
Yup! They he’ll surprisepikachu.jpg when the unrest continues.
I am far more worried by the constant attacks by white Christian nationalist and adjacent, as well as never-ending stream of school shooters, but sure let’s make IS aligned attacks the sole focus again. Anything to keep America from looking inward and actually helping its own people who are struggling to cope and getting
