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.
Fireworks and gasoline aren’t hard to come by.
Yeah and one could ram a car into a crowd of people as an intrusive thought.
