Summary

The FBI and DHS issued a warning about potential copycat or retaliatory vehicle-ramming attacks following the deadly New Year’s Day incident in New Orleans.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US veteran reportedly radicalized by extremist ideologies, killed over a dozen people using a rented truck before being fatally shot by police.

Authorities highlighted the low-skill requirement and accessibility of vehicles as factors making such attacks appealing.

Notably, damaged barriers in key New Orleans locations contributed to the attack’s impact.

    I hear there’s a want to be dictator about to take power… Certainly hope no one drives a vbied in the crowd during the speech to create a diversion for a more targeted attack.

    Oh well. T’s&P’s in advance. That should keep everyone safe
