Is the Chicago terror attack linked to the New Orleans and Las Vegas ones?
A little over a month ago, I covered the attack on a Jewish man in Chicago that was one where the fellow came into the nation illegally, claiming to be from a nation that gaining an identification for and claiming asylum are both hilariously easy. No one is talking about it, and the liberals are claiming it is just a hate attack so they can keep it quiet.
Here is where I talked about it in Substack: https://redneckthinker.substack.com/p/why-are-so-few-news-agencies-talking
Now we have European style ramming attack in New Orleans and Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas at the Trump Tower. Could it be the multiple terror attacks linked? Sidi Mohammad Abdallahi was able to commit suicide while he was in custody at the Cook County Jail, where he was housed at the Cermak Health Services area. Public attacks are the commonality, with the Chicago one being downplayed, as it happened before the election and was done by someone who came across the porous border.
Right now, there is no definitive link to terrorism when it comes to Las Vegas, especially because of the symbolism. If it is not actual international terrorism, then it is domestic terrorism. The New Orleans attack was done by Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, but what information that has been released seems to have some links to international terrorism. A lot of interesting facts to consider.
New Orleans attack
Here, via NBC, is what is known so far about the New Orleans attack.

A U.S. Army veteran from Texas is the suspect in a bloody New Year's Day attack in New Orleans that killed at least 15 people and injured 30 more.
Federal investigators identified Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, as the man who intentionally rammed a rented pickup into revelers around 3:15 a.m. on Bourbon Street as people were ringing in the new year.
He died in a shootout with police. Two officers were shot and were stable, officials said.
Federal and local officials are working to uncover a motive behind the attack and determine whether Jabbar acted alone or had help.
"This is not just an act of terrorism. This is evil," Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said.
The carnage unfolded when Jabbar drove onto a sidewalk, bypassing a police vehicle that had been parked to block cars from pedestrians celebrating on crowded Bourbon Street, officials told reporters Wednesday afternoon.
According to preliminary information, Jabbar had a black ISIS flag affixed to the hitch of the Ford F-150 Lightning truck.
The car-sharing marketplace Turo said the vehicle was rented from its company.
In an address to the nation, President Joe Biden said Jabbar posted videos to social media “indicating he was inspired by ISIS, expressing a desire to kill."
“The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle,” Biden added, citing information from the FBI and saying no one should jump to conclusions about the investigation.
Federal officials and local law enforcement agencies in New Orleans are investigating whether Jabbar used a long-gun rifle and fired it into the crowd as he ran people over, three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told NBC News.
The incident is being investigated as both a terrorist attack and a crime scene, federal and local officials said.
The FBI, which is leading the investigation, said weapons and potential improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, were in Jabbar's car and in the French Quarter.
Officials are looking into at least two IEDs that may have been planted near the attack area to determine whether those were actual explosive devices and whether they were operable.
Investigators do not believe Jabbar was “solely responsible” for the attack and have asked for the public’s assistance.
Las Vegas attack
Here, via the AP, is what is known about what happened in Las Vegas.

Firework mortars and camp fuel canisters were found stuffed into the back of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel early Wednesday, killing a suspect inside the vehicle and sparking an intense investigation into possible terrorism.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and Clark County Fire Department officials said that a person died inside the futuristic-looking pickup truck and seven people nearby suffered minor injuries.
By late Wednesday afternoon, authorities were still working to get the body out of the vehicle and start processing the evidence inside. President Joe Biden was briefed on the explosion.
“Our number one goal is to ensure that we have the proper identification of the subject involved in this incident,” said Jeremy Schwartz, acting special agent in charge for the FBI’s Las Vegas office, “Following that, our second objective is to determine whether this was an act of terrorism or not.”
Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said authorities know who rented the truck with the Turo app in Colorado, but are not releasing the name until investigators determine if it is the same person who died.
Chicago suspect death
Here, via WGN, is what happened to the fellow in Chicago.
https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/chicago-jail-death-hate-crime/
A 22-year-old man accused of shooting a Jewish man who was on his way to synagogue before exchanging gunfire with Chicago police officers and paramedics has died after he was found unresponsive in his jail’s medical facility.
The Cook County Sheriff’s Office said Sidi Mohammad Abdallahi was housed at Cermak Health Services, the medical facility in the Cook County Jail, and was found unresponsive at around 3:30 p.m. Saturday after an apparent suicide by hanging. Staff members immediately rendered aid before Chicago Fire Department personnel took him to Mt. Sinai Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities said there is no evidence of foul play at this time and no prior indication of any suicide risk.
Abdallahi was being held on charges of attempted murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm/peace officer/fireman, aggravated discharge of a firearm, terrorism and hate crime.
At around 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 26, officers were sent to the 2600 block of West Farwell Avenue to investigate reports of a person shot. As officers arrived and began investigating, a suspect now identified as Abdallahi fired shots toward responding officers, hitting a Chicago Fire Department ambulance.
Abdallahi then shot at officers from multiple locations.
Officers eventually encountered Abdallahi again in the 6800 block of North Washtenaw Avenue and exchanged gunfire, hitting him. He was then treated at the scene before being taken to an area hospital in critical condition, according to investigators.
Further investigation revealed Abdallahi shot a man in the 2600 block of West Farwell Avenue before encountering police officers. Authorities said the man was Jewish and was on his way to synagogue when he was shot. He survived the attack.
I will keep watching.
