On New Year’s Day, the United States experienced an Islamic terror attack that has raised concerns about the potential resurgence of coordinated terrorist activity within its borders. The deadly strike in New Orleans has sparked renewed interest in the warnings previously issued by Sarah Adams, a former CIA officer, on the Shawn Ryan Show.
New Orleans Attack
The 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran and self-proclaimed supporter of ISIS, Muslim Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who lived in Houston and posted multiple videos online declaring his allegiance to the Islamic State, drove a pickup truck into a crowded area, resulting in multiple casualties. The FBI confirmed the discovery of an Islamic State flag inside the vehicle, signaling a major connection to the Islamic terrorist organization. The deliberate nature of the attack and its chilling parallels to previous ISIS-inspired incidents have drawn national attention and prompted an ongoing investigation.
Sarah Adams’ Warnings
Sarah Adams has not only warned of Al Qaeda’s activity but has also highlighted the looming threat of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carrying out a U.S. homeland attack in retaliation for the killing of Qassem Soleimani. She believes over 1,000 terrorists may already be within U.S. borders, many of whom have entered through vulnerabilities such as the southern border and the Darien Gap.
She has raised alarms about a terrifying new development in terrorist tactics: the “Invisible Bomb,” a compound undetectable by magnetometers and now enhanced to evade detection by bomb-sniffing dogs. These compounds are integrated into suicide vests that could be worn into high-profile targets, bypassing standard security protocols.
Adams stated during her interview that Al Qaeda, alongside other groups, is “hell-bent on embarrassing the U.S.” She emphasized their determination to exploit American vulnerabilities, not only through coordinated physical attacks but also by deepening internal mistrust and chaos.

Coordinated Attacks?
The incident in New Orleans has prompted speculation about whether this attack is part of a broader, coordinated effort. Adams described a chilling scenario in which Al Qaeda-trained operatives, potentially in collaboration with ISIS, could execute “swarming” attacks across multiple locations. These operations could range from bombings to mass shootings, targeting high-profile symbols of American power and infrastructure.
Adams noted the striking similarities between Al Qaeda’s current planning and the tactics used in the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India, where Islamic terrorists carried out simultaneous strikes in urban centers, adjusting their plans in real-time based on the situation on the ground.
She also reiterated concerns about terrorists entering the U.S. through routes such as the Darien Gap, leveraging forged passports from countries like Syria and Turkey, or acquiring legitimate visas. These tactics allow them to operate below the radar until activated for attacks.
Border Concerns and Funding Links
An intelligence source corroborated Adams’ claim, stating that trained terrorists have infiltrated the U.S. using fake passports or legitimate visas. Adams also highlighted an unsettling irony: funds given to the Taliban under U.S. agreements have allegedly been funneled into training camps for homeland attackers. “Al Qaeda makes a joke out of it,” she said. “They are forcing America to fund their own attacks.”
Additionally, Adams explained that some terrorist operatives trained for these attacks are “clean,” coming from countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with legitimate documentation to embarrass the U.S. intelligence and immigration systems.
Political Implications
This event has sparked sharp criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies. Critics argue that lax enforcement has enabled dangerous actors to exploit vulnerabilities. In the wake of these attacks, questions about whether stronger measures could have prevented such threats are being raised. Former President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the rise of ISIS stems from policies implemented during the Obama and Clinton administrations.
As someone who lived through 9/11, Adams stressed the importance of vigilance, lamenting that the U.S. has become complacent in the face of escalating threats. “We have forgotten,” she warned, “and the consequences of that complacency could be catastrophic.”
Adams’ warnings serve as another grim reminder of the persistent threat posed by international Islamic terrorist organizations.
