The New York Post has photos of Jabbar’s trailer, after federal agents had completed their raid. The pictures add to our knowledge about Jabbar, although, as I wrote here, the fact that he was flying an ISIS flag on his murderous pickup tells us everything we need to know.
The most important point to be made is that the several individuals who were spotted on surveillance videos around the French Quarter, ostensibly planting IEDs, apparently were innocent. The FBI now says they were doing nothing wrong, and to the best of their current knowledge, Jabbar acted alone.
No doubt some will be skeptical, but unless and until we get meaningful new information, I see no reason to dissent from that conclusion. As far as I know, everything that Jabbar did could easily be carried out by a single individual.
Now for the Post’s photos of Jabbar’s trailer. The Koran is prominently featured:
The Post says the Koran was open to a passage that “expounds on Muslims’ responsibility to kill Allah’s enemies, and to be willing to die for that mission in return for eternity in paradise.” This is another shelf of Muslim books:
No doubt they were full of erudition.
For the rest, Jabbar’s house was pretty much a mess, as you would expect given that he was about to embark on a suicide mission. This is the last point that will be of interest to our readers:
Lawmakers were briefed about the incident Thursday and were told Jabbar, who was killed in a shootout with cops, had never been on a terror watchlist prior to the rampage, sources told The Post.
The fact that Jabbar apparently became an active Muslim only within the last year or so (as his relatives say, anyway) is probably consistent with that assertion.
More, no doubt, to come.
