Citizens Could Have Stopped NOLA Terror Attack: Recognizing the Signs of Terror
Christine Reagan | 1-14-2025
The New Orleans terror attack, where 15 lives were lost and over 30 were injured, was a nightmare, but the casualties intended were meant to kill thousands, with 47,000 tourists arriving for the Sugar Bowl.
The perpetrator, Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Houston, placed at least two unattended coolers filled with improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

Thankfully, the timely exchange of gunfire between local police and Jabbar likely prevented the detonation of these bombs, which could have led to far more devastating casualties.
This incident echoes a timeless lesson: the critical need for public vigilance, a lesson Brigitte Gabriel and her organization, ACT for America, have taught for years through the "See Something, Say Something" program. Gabriel's foresight in promoting this initiative has shaped how everyday citizens can safeguard their communities. This ethos was instrumental long before the Department of Homeland Security took it nationwide, emphasizing the importance of citizens acting as the first line of defense against terrorism.
Brigitte’s New York Times Bestsellers, “Because They Hate” and “They Must Be Stopped,” continue to equip citizens and law enforcement with practical ways to respond to and combat radical Islamic terrorism in America and abroad.
During the Bush Era, lectures at the FBI, the U.S. Special Operations Command, and the Joint Forces Staff College, Gabriel has emphasized the need for public participation in national security.
Under Gabriel's leadership, ACT for America established one of the first platforms for citizens to report suspicious activities, setting a precedent for community-based security that later influenced Homeland Security's systems.

The legacy of Brigitte Gabriel's work with ACT for America has never been more crucial. It's not a slogan; it's recognizing and reporting the signs of terror without fear, safeguarding our streets, communities, and nation from further harm.
Now is not the time for complacency! The implications of such attacks are far-reaching, especially considering warnings from figures like Tom Homan, the incoming Border Czar, who estimates at least 600,000 potential terrorists within the U.S. borders. Moreover, Sarah Adams, a former CIA Targeter, has warned of an influx of over 1,000 highly trained terrorists last year, potentially plotting to kill thousands in synchronized attacks, possibly orchestrated by a combined Al-Qaeda-ISIS operation. Adams has warned us that the 10/7 terror attack in Israel was meant as revenge against the US for the US military operation “Enduring Freedom” in Afghanistan. [ [link removed] ] CAIR, the unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, accused of funneling US donations to HAMAS in Gaza, was again embroiled in a recent lawsuit revealing foreign donors may be funneling funding for terrorism into the US through a former employee.
In the face of these threats, we must rekindle our vigilance, ensuring that the horrors of New Orleans are not repeated, understanding that in this battle against terror, every citizen's alertness could be the key to prevention.
See Something, Say Something: If you come across an unattended backpack, suitcase, cooler, or any containment unit in a public area, don't hesitate—report it to the local police immediately. If you witness someone purposefully leaving such an item behind, act swiftly: take a clear photo of the individual and approach them to confirm if the object is theirs. Should they deny ownership or continue walking away, call 911 without delay. Advise those around you to evacuate the area until law enforcement arrives.
"Do not say to yourself, 'I cannot judge others, you know, maybe I’m being too insensitive, or maybe I’m acting like a bigot.' Get these thoughts out of your mind, this is a time where we need to start profiling based on behavior and mannerism, not on background." - Brigitte Gabriel. [ [link removed] ]
Remember, prevention is the most effective deterrent against terror. If the item turns out to be harmless, there's no harm done; but if it's a threat, your actions could save lives and help in apprehending terrorists, potentially disrupting entire terror networks. Stay vigilant, stay safe.
