Hundreds of demonstrators called for an “intifada revolution” in Times Square on New Year’s Day, hours after a terrorist with an ISIS flag plowed into dozens at a New Year’s parade in New Orleans.

Attendees of the New York City protest — organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People’s Forum, according to the New York Post — chanted “There is only one solution: Intifada revolution.”

Among other chants were “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious;” “We will honor all our martyrs;” and “Gaza, you make us proud.”

FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raja said Thursday that investigators had recovered several weapons from the crime scene and surrounding areas, including two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in coolers located at the cross-section of Bourbon and Orleans Streets and at a second intersection just two blocks away. He added that the FBI wants to talk to witnesses who may have seen the coolers containing IEDs. 

Jabbar served in the Army as a human resource specialist and information technology specialist (IT) from March 2007 until January 2015. Following active duty, he served in the Army Reserve as an IT specialist from January 2015 until July 2020. 

During his tenure, he deployed to Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010.

Jabbar said in Facebook videos before the attack that he had joined ISIS before this summer and provided a will and testament, according to the FBI.
