The jihadist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on January 1, 2025, in which 14 people were murdered by an American who converted to Islam and became an Islamist, should come as no surprise.
This was not the first time that a jihadist in the United States or Europe had attacked in “vehicular jihad.” The Islamic State (ISIS) appears to have “encouraged” it in 2010. ISIS even recommended that to cause “maximum carnage,” it be used preferably in “pedestrian only” sites.
