Why not come through the southern border? Terrorist's are not smart.
They were driving to Mexico so that they could turn around and cross the southern border. They had heard how wide open it was.

Have the culprits been identified?

Really hope they get it right and not misgender anyone. Can you imagine the backlash against the trans community?

Fox reporting local law enforcement says it was an attempted terrorist attack, car had 'large amount' of explosives, and the car was going from the US into Canada...




From the video the building in the background is in New York. So that is the US border, they were travelling from Canada into US.

Could have been coming from Canada to the US but they were backing across the border to avoid suspicion.

Lots of sources all at once saying terror attack and likely due to Gaza. Would be real cautious if you traveled to NYC for Thanksgiving.

CNN saying car started on the US side heading towards a secondary checkpoint.

Car was going 80-100, hit a barrier, went airborne, exploded on impact.

That's what I'm thinking. They panicked when they realized they were about to be found out, so border guards were a target of opportunity.

Transiting of our borders is a national security concern. The government of the United States and it's people have a right to know who is transiting our borders and for what purposes they are doing so.

maybe someone in DC will care about our border security over the next weekend.

nah, who are we kidding?!?!

The picture shows it detonated/exploded under the awning. How does it get airborne and not hit the awning?

I expect this was part of something planned for thanksgiving....

I would not want to be at the Macy's parade or other big New York venues tomorrow....

Might not have been found out were it not for the goat riding in the front seat.

Odd place for an attack


I would think the vast majority of people crossing that bridge are tourists, so maybe they were counting on that for less scrutiny.

Maybe their target was somewhere else, and they got pulled over for inspection at the border checkpoint

Guy on Fox News - witnesses saw car in parking lot at nearby 7/11 in US. Was in the inspection lanes going wrong way. Heading to Canada in the lanes where cars coming from Canada to US. Sped up and slammed into CBP booth.

Some are suggesting that the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade may have been a target in this car just got caught at a border checkpoint and decided to go out with a bang.

The Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino is very close to the Rainbow Bridge. If you missed the turn on main street and Rainbow BLVD (Niagara) it would take you directly to the bridge and away from the casino.

Terrorists : Note to self buy a Gramin.

At every major incident as of late there's always reports of a second shooter / second car that later gets memory holed.

Probably came in through the southern border illegally would be my guess.

Why go from the US to Canada? There are plenty of (honestly more) targets in the US, the US is just as hated, and there's less of chance to get caught.
