Summary

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S.-born Army veteran, killed 14 people in an ISIS-inspired truck attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans.

Federal investigators revealed that Jabbar had placed two explosive devices on Bourbon Street, intending to detonate them with a transmitter, though they failed to activate.

The devices used a rare explosive compound never seen in U.S. or European terror attacks.

Authorities found bomb-making materials and other evidence in a rental house Jabbar set on fire to destroy evidence.

Officials believe Jabbar acted alone.
