The FBI is facing significant criticism after it initially claimed that a truck-ramming incident on Bourbon Street in New Orleans — which resulted in at least ten fatalities and more than twenty injuries — was “not a terrorist event.”

At around 3:17 a.m., local law enforcement responded to the scene where a suspect had driven a vehicle into a crowd of New Year’s celebrants before opening fire. The FBI later confirmed that the suspect was deceased.

Nevertheless, the FBI is being criticized for its initial statement that the attack was “not a terrorist event.” This has raised questions, especially considering the agency acknowledged the presence of “improvised explosive devices” at the scene.

“This is not a terrorist event. What it is right now is there improvised explosive devices that was found, and we are working on confirming if this is a viable device or not,” the FBI stated at the time.

“As Chief Kirkpatrick said, we’re asking everyone to stay away from Bourbon Street,” the FBI added, which only added to the confusion.

This position later seemed to contradict an official clarification from the FBI, which updated its stance, stating that it was “working with our partners to investigate this as an act of terrorism.”

President Joe Biden also weighed in, confirming the shift in approach. In a statement, he said, “The FBI is taking the lead in the investigation and is investigating this incident as an act of terrorism.”

  1. Our beloved FBI can always be trusted. They would never do anything unethical. Democrat operative Chris Wray is above reproach.

  2. WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THE FBI “KNEW” THE TERRORIST FOR A WHILE – AS USUAL.

    TERRORIST Attack in New Orleans with a FORD LIGHTNING MODEL White Truck!
    Taking place NOT only in New Years eve,
    BUT the SAME night that LIGHTNING Strikes:
    ⚡The Empire State Building
    ⚡Capitol Building
    ⚡Washington Monument!
    The odds of all these events happening together are so minuscule that they would be considered within the realm of statistical anomalies or even “miracles” or “coincidences” in common parlance. To calculate an exact probability would require precise data on each event’s individual probabilities under specific conditions, which is beyond current available data.
    THIS is INSANE!
