Al Qaeda Linked to New Orleans Attack?

1,000 Operatives Already in Country!

In a chilling development, the New Year's Eve terror attack in New Orleans has spotlighted potential links to Al Qaeda amidst warnings from former CIA counterterrorism analyst Sarah Adams of an imminent Homeland attack.

On January 1, 2025, New Orleans was struck by a terror attack in its French Quarter, where a vehicle was driven into a crowd on Bourbon Street, followed by gunfire, resulting in at least 10 fatalities and over 30 injuries.

Shamsud Din Jabbar has been identified as the perpetrator of the New Orleans attack, with multiple law enforcement officials confirming his identity. Jabbar was found wearing full military gear and allegedly had an ISIS flag in his truck; he was killed during a subsequent shootout with the police. Jabbar had a Glock and a .308 rifle, both reported as stolen from New Jersey. The New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno has indicated that 4 to 5 other suspects are likely involved.

The truck used in the New Orleans New Year's Eve terror attack was traced back to crossing the U.S. border at Eagle Pass, Texas, merely two days before the tragedy struck.

Sarah Adams, in a recent interview with Shawn Ryan, outlined a coordinated plot involving Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Iran for an attack on U.S. soil. Adams revealed that Al Qaeda has trained approximately 1,000 operatives for this purpose, with training camps in Afghanistan focusing on urban warfare, suicide bombings, and covert operations. This aligns with the tactics seen in both the recent New Orleans attack and the October 7 Hamas assault, where tactics like vehicle attacks in crowded areas were employed.

At the heart of this plot, according to Adams, is Hamza bin Laden, who has been orchestrating an "Islamic Army" to merge various terrorist factions under one banner. This strategy not only aims to confuse attribution by having ISIS claim the attacks but also allows Al Qaeda to maintain secrecy and protect its operations from retaliation.

Iran's involvement is pivotal, as Adams notes, with the IRGC providing logistical support and sanctuary to Al Qaeda leaders. An "invisible bomb vest" was highlighted as an innovative tactic, designed to evade traditional security measures, a detail that underscores the sophistication of the planning.

The potential targets for these coordinated attacks could include symbols of American power or infrastructure, with the possibility of simultaneous or sequential strikes across U.S. cities. The involvement of external powers like Russia, in facilitating supplies, hints at a complex geopolitical chess game where America's adversaries might be leveraging terrorism for strategic gains.

The countries under the Islamic Army umbrella, as per Adams, include Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, Somalia, Mali, and Burkina Faso. Additionally, operatives from Libya, Sudan, Tajikistan, Egypt, Turkey, and Uzbekistan could be involved, with some not officially flagged as "special interest" by border authorities.

Adam’s has confirmation that the attackers are already within U.S. borders, potentially numbering up to 1,000, trained and ready for mass casualty events. The New Orleans attack, whether directly linked or not, serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat. With the potential for up to 60,000 casualties in the U.S. and attacks on U.S. embassies abroad, the severity of the threat cannot be overstated.

As we reflect on this terrifying possibility, it's clear that the U.S. must urgently reassess its counter-terrorism strategies, enhance intelligence operations, and secure its borders more effectively. The specter of another catastrophic attack looms large unless immediate, decisive action is taken.
