A Florida congressman and Air Force veteran is calling out anyone who has encountered a New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar or Las Vegas bomber Matthew Livelsberger at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, to contact her office.
She also asked for information about failed assassin Ryan Routh, a former North Carolina man who was arrested at President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Florida, allegedly pointing a rifle through the fence as the soon-to-be commander-in-chief played a round . .
“If you are at Fort Bragg (Liberty) and have some information about these three men, but are afraid to come forward in your chain of command, I can provide whistleblower protection and intake information,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna wrote in a message on X Thursday evening.

Mourning, 58, had roots in North Carolina, but recently lived in Hawaii. Luna appeared to be referring to a recent report that Routh, a civilian with a lengthy criminal history, had visited Fort Bragg dozens of times.
Luna serves on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Her office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Army said Thursday that although both 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 both men went to Afghanistan in 2009, any links there were still being investigated.
“We don’t have any evidence that they were in the same province in Afghanistan, in the same location or in the same unit,” McMahill said. “Again, something else still under investigation.”
Both men used the Turo app to rent electric pickup trucks used in the incidents, he said.
Ryan Routh was arrested for allegedly attempting to murder a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime, assaulting a federal officer, felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number in Palm Beach County, Florida on September 15, 2024.
