In a shocking turn of events, a New Orleans Airbnb property, believed to be rented by the terrorist responsible for the New Year's Eve tragedy on Bourbon Street, was engulfed in flames, leading to the evacuation of dozens of people.
The incident occurred in the wake of a horrific terror attack that claimed the lives of at least 10 people and injured 35 others.
According to Gateway Pundit, the terrorist, identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, drove his vehicle into a crowd of New Year's Eve revelers in New Orleans. The attack, which took place at 3:15 a.m. on Wednesday, saw Jabbar, clad in full military gear, skillfully navigate his vehicle around barricades before charging into the crowd. After his vehicle came to a halt, Jabbar reportedly opened fire on police officers, injuring two, who are now in stable condition. An ISIS flag was reportedly discovered in the truck. Jabbar was later killed in a shootout with the police.
Fox News reported that investigators have unearthed evidence suggesting that Jabbar did not act alone. A high-level source revealed that there are at least four to five other suspects believed to be involved in the planning and execution of this atrocious act.
The fire at the Airbnb property, located at 1329 Mandeville Street, was extinguished by firefighters, who were later joined by authorities and bomb squad technicians for further investigation. The connection between the fire and the terror attack remains unclear, with officials yet to release more information.
The Bourbon Street attack and the subsequent fire at the Airbnb property rented by the suspect have sent shockwaves through the community, raising questions about the safety of public spaces and the effectiveness of counter-terrorism measures. The incidents underscore the need for enhanced security measures and vigilance, particularly during public celebrations.
