FBI identifies Texas man Shamsud-Din Jabbar as suspect and says other potential explosives found
The FBI has identified the suspect in Wednesday’s deadly crowd attack in New Orleans as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas.
Law enforcement sources say the suspect,
who was killed in a firefight with officers,
had an ISIS flag at the time of the attack. The FBI said it is investigating potential associations with terrorist organizations.
The FBI said it
doesn’t think the driver was “solely responsible.” Weapons, as well as “potential improvised explosive devices,” otherwise known as IEDs, were found in the vehicle, the FBI said. Officials also located IEDs in the French Quarter.
