Deadly amocran in New Orleans: 14 victims at New Year's drama!

On New Year's Night, a tragic event occurred in New Orleans when the 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar raced with his off-road vehicle into a celebrating crowd on the Bourbon Street. 14 people were killed, and many more were injured, such as Zsz.ch reported. The attacker, a US veteran with connections to Islam and alleged inspiration by the terrorist group of Islamic State (IS), shot passers-by during the killing trip and brought explosive devices. Jabbar died in a change of shooting with the police.

The tragic details of this amocran raise serious questions about security: The new roadblocks that should only be installed were not protected by people because they were not robust enough for the high speeds that a vehicle can reach. According to krone.at , the new bollards were designed for an impact speed of only 10 miles per hour (approx. 16 km/h), whereas the attacker could drive up to 70 miles per hour (approx. 113 km/h). Thus the security system was rated as inadequate, and the responsible authorities are now criticized.

In addition, the investigators consider possible connections between Jabbar and other terrorist activities as well as a burning Tesla in Las Vegas, which continues to be complicated on the same day, which further complicated. The incident not only causes grief in the city, but also has political consequences because the blame has already started. Critics accuse the authorities of having not adequately checked the security precautions.
