Is ‘Twitter’ censorship back? 

Yes, it is. The embed function in the tweet has been disabled…

Update (1225ET):

NOLA reports the suspected terrorist is 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar. 

The source said Jabbar was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck, and authorities have said he was dressed in military gear. -NOA

Update (1157ET):

The dead suspected terrorist was seen dressed in military fatigues.

Michael Flynn, who served as national security adviser in the Trump administration 1.0, wrote on X:

Again, it is not what you call it in the end that matters. What matters is if there was intelligence prior in some agency or department and it wasn’t acted upon. A failure of decision makers not a failure of intelligence.

Prevention is what we shoot for, that is what the hard work of intelligence does. If you don’t follow it and hunt down every lead, then you end up in a reactive, after the fact mode. This, tragically, is where we are for what should have been a very joyous occasion. Members of my family were walking along bourbon street last night at midnight.

Another big question, what’s next and are the people with knowledge rapidly cross leveling intelligence to prevent the next attack?

Readers should be reminded that just two weeks ago, we pointed out: “In the short term, the threats to the homeland are rising… Democrats have transformed America into a ‘terrorist playground’ with open borders.”

A massive scandal could erupt with the outgoing Biden administration, which likely did not act on critical intelligence about domestic threats.

Update (0750ET):

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell confirmed that the truck ramming attack on Bourbon Street was a “terrorist attack.”

“First of all, the city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack. I’ve been in direct contact with the White House, Governor Landry, and the unified command here.”   

Police killed the terror attack suspect when he exited the truck with an assault rifle, per ABC News report. 

Let’s not forget…

Two weeks ago…

Update (0730ET):

Local media outlets have published an image of the truck involved in the mass casualty incident on Bourbon Street.

The Ford F-150 Lightning truck has a Texas license plate reading “LZ 1575.” A flagpole hitch holder is visible with what appears to be a flag, although it seems covered. Additionally, there are four bullet holes in the rear cabin window of the truck.

Update (0700ET):

The City of New Orleans has confirmed ten dead and 30 injured after a vehicle plowed into a large crowd on Canal and Bourbon Street.

The New Orleans Police Department has yet to confirm whether the mass casualty incident was intentional. No details about the driver have been released.

A press conference is expected shortly.

The New Orleans Police Department told local media outlet WGNO that multiple people are dead after a vehicle plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. The area, a bar and restaurant district popular with tourists, was still very active just hours after New Year’s Eve celebrations.

NOPD said the vehicle struck a group of people around 3:15 a.m. local time at the intersection of Bourbon Street and Iberville

Witnesses told CBS News reporter Kati Weis that a truck crashed into the crowd at “high speeds,” adding that the driver exited the vehicle and started discharging a weapon, prompting police officers to return fire.

Unconfirmed video. 

Weis reported that multiple people were on the ground with serious injuries.

NOPD told CBS News that “initial reports show a car may have plowed into a group of people. Injuries are unknown but there are reported fatalities.”
