TERROR ATTACK IN LAS VEGAS! Woman Driver, Screaming "Allahu Akbar" Runs Over 40 people on Las Vegas Strip
A woman in a car with its windows down screamed "Allahu Akbar" as she ran up onto the sidewalk and ran-over upwards of 40 people in Las Vegas last night.
According to one eye witness "As we were walking accross the street, this car comes flying through the red light. She ran up on the sidewalk and smashed into a group of people walking accross the street and into the group of people at the corner. She did not slow down and appeared to accelerate as she hit the sidewalk."
According to that witness. there is a huge row of plants and bushes seperating the sidewalk and the strip, but the woman driver ran through both, at a speed he guessed to be 40-45 miles per hour. "People were flying off the front of her car and people were smashing into other people as she plowed through the crowd."
The witness went on to say "As this unfolded, the only thing I recall as this happened is the insane sound of her car accelerating and the voice from the car was screaming "Allah Akbar!" I've heard the sound enough times on the news that I was waiting for a bomb to blow up or guns to start firing. "
According to Police, 37 people were hit and one person was killed. Six of the victims were listed in Critical Condition but they have since been upgraded to stable.
The crash occurred about 6:40 PM local time in front of the Paris Hotel & Casino, and Planet Hollywood. Police are quite explicit in saying the crash was intentional.
This was an act of Islamic Terrorism, perpetrated by an Islamic woman driving a car with a three year old child inside, who INTENTIONALLY rode onto the sidewalk to strike innocent people. Police, however, have been instructed by their superiors to NOT use the word "terrorism" in relation to this incident, because Las Vegas does not want tourists to be frightened away from the city.

ReplyDelete“Police say Holloway was using a “stimulant” and said she had been in Las Vegas for about one week, living in her vehicle.”

This afternoon, I watched the news conference conducted by the Las Vegas sheriff. He said that he personally did not believe the vehicular attack was terrorism.
ReplyDeleteBUT the sheriff also said that something that Lakeisha Holloway said might indicate that it was an act of terrorism.
He also mentioned that the FBI was now investigating and that at first law enforcement didn't recognize that there were indeed terrorism connections with the massacre in San Bernardino.
From Heavy.com:
ReplyDeleteHolloway’s family members have said that this wasn’t like her at all, Georgia Newsday reported. One of her cousins, LaShay Hardaway, said she was a successful, overachiever and this wasn’t something she would ever do. “Something very tragic must have taken place in her life because this is not her.” Another cousin, Sheria Agum, said that Holloway was a sweet and loving mother who had recently been living in Texas before returning to the West coast. She said around that time, Agum noticed a change in Holloway and she had a completely different attitude when she returned.
Anonymous,
ReplyDelete“Police say Holloway was using a “stimulant” and said she had been in Las Vegas for about one week, living in her vehicle.”
So saith CBS News.
However, the Las Vegas Sheriff said this afternoon that the results from the blood test are pending. Are those blood tests in already?
I heard something about her alias: "Paris Paradise Morton"?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else hear anything about that?
Yeah, I read that somewhere.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have heard and read about this story, I no longer believe there is any link to Islam.
Pasto,
ReplyDeleteI'm still reserving my judgment.
