read that the materials to make that type of explosive are pretty common but making it is still something that requires lots of skill and training apparently. It's super rare and has never been used in an European or American terrorist attack. The FBI has stated multiple times that the two bombs were fully functional and the only thing that saved us from a much higher death toll is the fact that he used the wrong type of detonator for them.
That is kind of what I thought I pieced together between statements. It makes for an interesting debate. I think you could argue that he followed a guide with no real understanding of the process. Whether that’s someone just telling him steps without explaining the concepts or indicative of finding a paper online…

I truly have no idea so not trying to argue here.
I was making a point my dude
Meaning these are basic investigative questions, not conspiracies who the other poster implied we were getting into.

Can't wait for Trump to get in office.

(1) The trip to Egypt. Where did he stay, who is in that same area?
(2) The trip to Canada. Same questions. He definitely had accomplices in Egypt and Canada. That means he did not "act alone".
(3) He was said to have used AI to plan the bombs. Apparently, AI gave him bad info. No surprise there. He didn't even check against better sources? He's an idiot, and we are lucky for that.
(4) He had family ancestors in Evangeline Parish (Ville Platte area), and Opelousas, and St Martinville. Young, Bertrand, Everette, and Malveaux families. Just FYI.
(4) The city could have had better protection against a vehicle driving on the sidewalk at Bourbon St. Then he would have just run over 20 people in the Canal St neutral ground or on Magazine St or at City Park. You can't have bollards everywhere there are pedestrians on sidewalks or in parking lots.

This has been my point. He didn't act alone, I don't believe he acted alone any more than I believe it's possible for Joe Biden to receive hundreds of thousands of votes to Trump's hundreds (or whatever it was) in one single vote dump.
This fricker had help.

Just wanted to point out for those that don't know, but there is a feature to follow this thread and get alerted to any new replies...looks for the bell above the OP on the first page...now that the thread has slowed, it shouldn't be stickied at top but we will sticky to the bottom for a time.

Thanks Chicken. If interesting new developments occur, let's sticky this back to the top!

apparently he luckily used the wrong detonator for the high explosive material. he used a powder explosive detonator, so it didn't work. these bombs could have killed hundreds more according to officials.
The guy was so incompetent that he couldn’t burn his Air BNB even using gasoline.
He reportedly built fully functioning bombs using some type of explosive that’s never been used before in terror attacks.
The only reason his fully functional bombs didn’t go off is that he used the wrong detonator.
Sounds 100% like a rube who was cultivated by a handler from a federal agency.

Let the record show that for decades I've wondered if New Orleans or anywhere in the state of Louisiana would fall victim of a terrorist attack and when it did, the poster who broke the news to the OT was TitsbyWilly, who has a grand total of 49 posts.

wrong. RDX has been used in terror attacks in the middle east for ever. just never in the USA until now. it was used in WW1. thats how long it's been around.

He meat never used in a terror attack in Europe or America before.

yeah. I said that in my post.
Posted on 1/10/25 at 8:47 am to Mouth
No you didn't. You said it's never been used in an American terror attack, which is only part of the truth. It's also never been used in a European terror attack, which makes it an even more rare choice of explosive to use. I think either he went out of his way to make an explosive that nobody has ever used in Europe or American terror attacks or someone in the middle east taught him all about it. Perhaps someone in, oh I don't know, Egypt.
Posted on 1/10/25 at 8:51 am to TDsngumbo
Oh I forgot to say Europe. My bad.
My point was to argue that Rsalt is used in terror attacks all the time.
He only mentioned it was never used in terror attacks so he could then say this was an inside job by our own Feds. Which is ridiculous.
ETA. You missed my point.

This was my point. It’s been used a lot.
That’s why this dude is way off base saying it was our own people helping this dude.

Or he stumbled into some oddball online resource, and didn’t have anyone at all telling him “bro, ain’t nobody using that stuff and the design you found is dumb… you should do this one”

So do you think his month long trip, alone, to Egypt was just a coincidence?
Of course you could very well be 100% spot on but the eyeball test says there are some questionable things surrounding this case.
If I were to be arrested for paying multiple prostitutes for sex one day and then the investigation reveals that a year before, I took a month-long trip to Amsterdam's Red Light district, everyone would say "hmm, that checks out".
Why are we just so quick to accept the FBI's claim that he had no help when he claimed allegiance to ISIS and attacked Bourbon St in a very ISIS kind of way not all that long after spending a MONTH in EGYPT?
It just seems too coincidental.
Edit: correction, he spent weeks, not a whole month, in Egypt. Still though, that doesn't erase any of the suspicion in my mind.

they are clearly just referring to the actual attack when they say he acted alone.
I'm sure more info could come out about who he was in contact with as he planned this whole thing.

I meant to say America and Europe.
My bad, I can go back and edit if it’d make you happy.
As for Intelligence Agencies (like the FBI) cultivating assets, convincing them to take action, and providing them with explosive devices that are 99% functional, it happens frequently.
It’s not a “conspiracy theory”, it’s factual.
Now, did this 100% happen with this guy? Can’t prove it. But it’s certainly possible. They sure were able to track down everything about his life pretty quickly, almost as if they already knew him.
