NYC protesters follow New Orleans attack by calling for 'intifada revolution' hours after rampage

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.”

In New Orleans, a group called New Orleans Musicians for Palestine is planning a “Procession for Palestine” on Jan. 6, according to an Instagram post, to “demonstrate our continued solidarity with the people of Palestine and make visible our vision for a world after war, colonialism, capitalism and white supremacy.”

The procession is planned outside Louisiana Supreme Court on Royal Street, just a few blocks away from where Shamsud-Din Jabbar attacked people on Bourbon Street on Wednesday.

In New York, hours after the attack, protesters were chanting “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious;” “We will honor all our martyrs;” and “Gaza, you make us proud.”

Protesters carried signs reading “Zionism is a cancer,” “No war on Iran” and “End all U.S. aid to Israel,” the Times of Israel reported.

“We’re sending you back to Europe, you white b——,” one woman wearing a keffiyeh shouted at counter-protesters in an exchange captured on video. “Go back to Europe!”

A speaker shouted through a megaphone that “2024 was a year of struggle against the crime of Zionism.”

“We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return,” the speaker said, according to the Times of Israel.

Several hours before the demonstration, 42-year-old Jabbar plowed a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s Eve revelers on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street.

Jabbar — who was shot dead in a gunfight with police — was a U.S.-born citizen who lived in Texas, FBI Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Alethea Duncan said at a Wednesday afternoon press conference.

The attack unfolded around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, leaving 15 people dead, including Jabbar, and 35 people injured.

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.

Resources for families as Vermont National Guard prepares for deployment

MONTPELIER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Earlier this month, ABC22/FOX44 reported that members of Vermont’s Air National Guard would be sent to the Caribbean to take part in Operation Southern Spear.

Legislators from all three major political parties in Vermont wrote Tuesday about resources available for the families of the members sent out in the field. They said that Maj. Gen. Gregory Knight, Adjutant General of the Vermont National Guard, had officially confirmed the mobilization Monday.

“The uncertainty of a deployment is a stressful time for families, especially during the holiday. We thank our Vermont Guard Members and their families for their service to Vermont and our country. During this time, we encourage Vermonters to check in on their friends and neighbors impacted by this deployment.”

The “central hub” for family support the Vermont National Guard Family Programs Office. Its support line, (888) 607-8773, is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with more available at its website at ngfamily.vt.gov.

Families can ask at the support line to be connected with a local volunteer support group as well (include link).

There are also six regional centers across the state in Montpelier, White River Junction, Rutland, South Burlington, Jericho, and St. Albans. The National Guard describes these as “resource and referral experts” that can help families connect with any services they may need.

Information on these is available at their own webpage. https://www.ngfamily.vt.gov/Programs-Services/Military-and-Family-Readiness-Centers/

Brown University, MIT shooting suspect likely died days before body found: autopsy

Brown University, MIT shooting suspect likely died days before body found: autopsy

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The suspect behind the deadly Brown University shooting and the killing of an MIT professor died by suicide days before he was found dead in a New Hampshire storage unit, authorities confirmed Friday, as investigators continue searching for a motive behind the attacks.

New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella said Friday the New Hampshire Department of Justice Office of the Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on the body of Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, who was identified as the suspect in the Brown University mass shooting and the subsequent killing of an MIT professor.

The examination confirmed Neves Valente died from a gunshot wound to the head, and the manner of death was ruled a suicide.

Based on forensic findings and investigative information available to date, authorities estimate he died Tuesday, Dec. 16. Neves Valente was found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire two days later on Thursday evening.

Neves Valente was publicly identified by Providence police as the suspect in the Dec. 13 shooting at Brown University, which occurred during a finals week study session and left two students dead. Nine others were wounded at the Barus & Holley Engineering Building.

Authorities later confirmed he was also the suspect in the Dec. 15 fatal shooting of MIT nuclear science professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro, who was found shot at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Federal investigators also recovered two 9 mm pistols in New Hampshire near Neves Valente’s body, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’s Boston office.

The ATF and FBI, working through the Connecticut State Police forensic laboratory, positively matched one of the guns to the weapon used in the Brown shooting. The second gun was matched to Loureiro’s killing, authorities said.

According to Brown University President Christina Paxson, Neves Valente was a Portuguese national and former Brown student who studied physics from the fall of 2000 through the spring of 2001 before withdrawing from the program in 2003. He had no recent affiliation with the university at the time of the shooting on campus.

“I think it’s safe to assume that this man, when he was a student, spent a great deal of time in that building for classes and other activities as a Ph.D. student in physics,” Paxson said. “He has no current active affiliation with the university or campus presence.”

Neves Valente was found dead Thursday evening after law enforcement officers breached a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, where he was believed to be hiding. Authorities said he acted alone in both attacks.

During the investigation, law enforcement canvassed neighborhood surveillance video, released images of a person of interest and initially questioned, but later ruled out, another individual before identifying Neves Valente as the suspect.

The two Brown students killed were Ella Cook of Alabama and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov of Virginia. Several surviving victims remained hospitalized in stable condition.

Sources tell Fox News that investigators are continuing to examine Neves Valente’s recent movements, including tracing credit card transactions in the days leading up to the attacks. FBI agents are also in Florida, where he reportedly last lived, according to sources.
