Journalist Lara Logan has made explosive allegations, claiming that the CIA has worked with Taliban connections to activate sleeper cells within the United States for attacks intended to be blamed on ISIS. Logan’s comments came in the aftermath of the New Orleans Bourbon Street terror attack, which left 10 dead and 35 injured early on New Year’s Day.

“I learned months ago from multiple U.S. intel sources that the CIA was urging their ‘friends’ in the Taliban/Haqqani terror network to use their sleeper cells inside the U.S. for an attack that would be blamed on ISIS,” Logan wrote on X, suggesting the attack in New Orleans may be connected to these claims.
I learned months ago from multiple US intel sources that the CIA was urging their “friends” in the Taliban/Haqqani terror network to use their sleeper cells inside the US for an attack that would be blamed on ISIS. So I am very skeptical – it is too easy to blame ISIS. They do it… https://t.co/k0xD4KHl2H

The New Orleans incident involved a suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, who drove a truck through a crowd and opened fire before being fatally shot by police. Authorities recovered an ISIS flag from the suspect’s vehicle, but Logan remains skeptical of the official narrative. “It is too easy to blame ISIS,” she said, insinuating potential manipulation by intelligence agencies.
Contradictions in official statements have compounded the controversy. While New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick characterized the attack as terrorism, Alethea Duncan, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s New Orleans office, stated, “This is not a terrorist event.” Hours later, the FBI released a statement confirming the investigation as an act of terrorism, deepening public confusion.

Former National Security Advisor Gen. Mike Flynn weighed in, emphasizing the importance of following intelligence leads to prevent such attacks. “If there was intelligence prior in some agency or department and it wasn’t acted upon, that’s a failure of decision-makers, not intelligence,” Flynn wrote on X.
The broader implications of Logan’s allegations raise questions about the integrity and role of intelligence agencies in addressing domestic security threats. The CIA has not responded to Logan’s claims, leaving open the possibility of further revelations in the ongoing investigation.
As investigators continue to piece together the events leading to the Bourbon Street attack, these allegations underscore the complexity of modern security challenges and the potential for deeper scrutiny into the actions of intelligence agencies.
