He drove \u200ca rented pickup truck displaying an ISIS flag into\u2064 a crowd in the French Quarter. Jabbar had a troubling background, living \u200cin a run-down trailer park\u200b near a mosque, and had expressed \u2062extremist views\u2064 online, posting \u200bvideos where he showed\u200c support \u2062for ISIS.Initially, he contemplated harming those close to him but felt\u2064 that the media\u200c wouldn&#8217;t focus on what he termed the &#8220;war between\u2063 believers and \u200cdisbelievers&#8221; if he did. Jabbar, who converted to\u200c Islam from Christianity, had a history \u2064of erratic behavior in recent\u200d months, leading family members to \u2064limit contact with him, especially regarding his daughters.His\u200b brother \u200bemphasized that Jabbar&#8217;s actions do \u200cnot reflect true Islam, suggesting that \u2063he was\u2062 radicalized \u2063rather than representing the religion itself. Jabbar served in the Army from 2007 to 2015, including a deployment to Afghanistan, and\u200c had \u200dbeen married three times.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar reportedly lived just blocks from a mosque and viewed the world as a &ldquo;war between the believers and the disbelievers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Jabbar lived in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-confirms-new-orleans-terrorist-had-isis-flag-flying-from-truck\/\" title=\"FBI Confirms New Orleans Terrorist Had ISIS Flag Flying from Truck\">squalid trailer park<\/a> on the outskirts of Houston that is home to mostly Muslim immigrants,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/01\/01\/us-news\/inside-shamsud-din-jabbar-jabbars-squalid-home-where-sheep-and-goats-roam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> reported. &ldquo;[Jabbar] was living in a run-down trailer park where he kept sheep and goats in the yard &mdash; just blocks from the local mosque.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Early Wednesday morning, the 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/terrorist-attack-hits-america-mass-casualty-event-confirmed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drove a rented pickup truck<\/a> bearing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fbi-confirms-new-orleans-terrorist-isis-flag-flying-truck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISIS flag<\/a> into people celebrating the New Year in the French Quarter in New Orleans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c5ygrvveye0o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killing 14<\/a> and injuring over 30 more.<\/p>\n<p>FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia told reporters on Thursday that Jabbar posted five videos online before carrying out his attack in which he stated his support for ISIS.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the first video.

Jabbar kept sheep and goats in his yard near the local mosque. Early Wednesday morning, this 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran drove a rented pickup truck adorned with an ISIS flag into crowds celebrating New Year&#8217;s in New Orleans&#8217; French Quarter, resulting in 14 deaths and over 30 injuries. FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia stated that Jabbar had posted five videos online prior to his attack expressing support for ISIS. In one video, he mentioned initially planning to harm family and friends but was worried that media coverage wouldn&#8217;t highlight the &#8220;war between believers and non-believers.&#8221; Jabbar&#8217;s brother revealed that they were raised Christian but Shamsud-Din had converted to Islam long ago; he emphasized that his brother&#8217;s actions did not reflect true Islam but rather radicalization. Having served in the Army from 2007 until 2015 before becoming a reservist until 2020, Jabbar had deployed to Afghanistan for one year starting in 2009. He had been married three times and was separated from his third wife at the time of his attack; he also had two daughters with his first wife whom he divorced in 2012. Dwayne Marsh, who is married to Jabbar\u2019s ex-wife Nakedra Marsh, noted that Jabbar exhibited erratic behavior after converting to Islam which led them to restrict their daughters&#8217; contact with him. Chris Pousson, a retired Air Force veteran who knew Jabbar since school days remarked on how deeply involved Jabbar became with Islam after reconnecting post-military service; while he shared religious posts online passionately by then, they were not extremist or violent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2385817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Shamsud-Din-Jabbar.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[8995,36223,36854,17082,47705],"class_list":["post-2385816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-attacker","tag-crime-report","tag-local-news","tag-mosque","tag-new-orleans"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Shamsud-Din-Jabbar.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2385816"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2385820,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2385816\/revisions\/2385820"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2385817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2385816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2385816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2385816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
