Congresswoman calls on Fort Liberty whistleblowers to come forward after NYE attacks

A Florida congresswoman and Air Force veteran is urging anyone who encountered New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar or Las Vegas bomber Matthew Livelsberger at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, to contact her office.

She also requested information about failed assassin Ryan Routh, a former North Carolina man who was arrested at President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Florida when he allegedly pointed a rifle through the fence while that the future commander-in-chief was playing a game. .

“If you are at Fort Bragg (Liberty) and have information about these three men but are afraid to come forward to your chain of command, I can provide whistleblower protection and intake information,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna wrote in an article on X Thursday evening.

Routh, 58, had roots in North Carolina but most recently lived in Hawaii. Luna appeared to be referring to a recent report that Routh, a civilian with a long criminal history, had visited Fort Bragg dozens of times.

Luna is a member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. His office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Army said Thursday that while Jabbar and Livelsberger served at the North Carolina base, there was no overlap in the time they were stationed there.

In Las Vegas, Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said that although the two men traveled to Afghanistan in 2009, any potential links to that country were still under investigation.

“We have no evidence that they were in the same province of Afghanistan, in the same location or in the same unit,” McMahill said. “Again, there’s something else that’s still under investigation.”

The two men used the Turo app to rent electric vans used in the incidents, he said.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF THE NEW ORLEANS TERROR ATTACK

Between 2007 and 2015, Jabbar was a human resources specialist and IT specialist. From 2015 to 2020, he remained a computer scientist in the Army Reserve. Livelsberger was an active duty Army Green Beret in the 10th Special Forces Group.

Livelsberger, 37, was identified as the man who detonated inside a Cybertruck loaded with explosive and flammable materials just steps from the front door of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.

Speaking of a potential motive, authorities on Friday released excerpts from a “manifesto” left by Livelsberger, who wrote that “this was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake-up call.”

PTSD and ongoing family issues were also likely factors, sheriff’s officials said.

Hours earlier, Jabbar, 42, crashed into pedestrians with a rented Ford EV van on New Orleans’ famous Bourbon Street, killing at least 14 people and injuring more than 30 others. After crashing, he opened fire on police and died in a shootout. The FBI said Thursday that the Texas native had pledged allegiance to ISIS and was a domestic terrorist.

FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia told reporters in New Orleans on Thursday that there was “no definitive link” between the attack and the explosion, but authorities handling both cases said that They were still investigating.
