The New Orleans Police Department on Friday released body camera footage of the shootout between three officers and the attacker who rammed his truck into pedestrians on Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing 14 people. It was the first time details of the shootout, including the names of the officers who killed the attacker, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, were released. Emergency services attend to the scene on Bourbon Street after a vehicle drove into a crowd on New Orleans' Canal and Bourbon Street on New Year's Day. The heavily trafficked thoroughfare of Bourbon Street did not have vehicle security barriers, known as bollards, in place at the time of the attack. Cantrell and Kirkpatrick have defended the city’s response, saying there were temporary security measures, police vehicles and a large law enforcement presence throughout the French Quarter.

Dienst and CopenhagenThe bombs failed to go off because Jabbar used the wrong device to detonate the explosive, federal law enforcement officials have said. Three explosive experts interviewed by NBC News said they were baffled that Jabbar seemingly knew to use a little-known compound more powerful than TNT but not how to get it to detonate. By using RDX, experts say Jabbar was mimicking the tactics of terrorist groups operating in the Middle East, where it is far easier to obtain. Had Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, used RDX, the attack would have been even more catastrophic, experts said. “You’d have multiple buildings blown down.”Building a bomb with RDX is also more challenging and more dangerous.

☆ How the New Orleans suspect Shamsud-din Jabbar planned the truck attack

CNN —Nearly a week after Shamsud-din Jabbar rammed a pickup truck into a busy crowd celebrating New Year’s in New Orleans, killing 14, details of how he planned the attack are becoming clearer. As investigators piece together his movements and motivations, it appears Jabbar – whom officials have said acted alone and was radicalized – was preparing the Bourbon Street attack for months. The person who sold the rifle didn’t know Jabbar or that he was planning the attack, Jackson added. Gerald Herbert/APWithin an hour, home camera footage showed him unloading the white truck outside the Airbnb in New Orleans. He had driven from Houston to New Orleans by himself, and was the only person seen entering and leaving the Airbnb, officials said.

CNN —The attacker who drove a truck through New Orleans’ Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day used Meta smart glasses to scout the scene weeks earlier, according to the FBI. “Jabbar was wearing a pair of Meta glasses when he conducted the attack on Bourbon Street, but he did not activate the glasses to livestream his actions that day,” Myrthil said on Sunday at a press conference. Meta released its smart glasses in 2021 in collaboration with Ray-Ban, called Ray-Ban Stories. The Meta smart glasses are priced as high as $379, according to the Ray-Ban website, and can be purchased at Best Buy, Target and T-Mobile, among other retailers.

The city had also been gearing up for Carnival, with weeks of parades, performances and parties starting Monday. And in February, the crown jewel of American sports: Super Bowl LIX. The Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) designation and five-tiered ranking system determine whether events require federal security support such as field intelligence teams, air security, bomb detection dogs and more. The Super Bowl has been designated SEAR 1, the top tier reserved for “significant events” with national or international importance requiring “extensive” support. But there were no such sturdy bollards on New Year’s Eve; they were under repair, with new barriers set to be installed before the Super Bowl takes place.

The New Orleans terrorist attacker visited the Louisiana city twice in the weeks before the attack and recorded video of the area using Meta smart glasses, the FBI revealed Sunday. He wore the smart glasses to record video as he rode a bicycle through the French Quarter during that trip, FBI Special Agent in Charge Lyonel Myrthil said on Sunday. FBI“Meta glasses appear to look like regular glasses, but they allow a user to record videos and photos hand-free,” Myrthil said. One subject of further inquiry is a trip Jabbar made to Cairo in 2023 and another trip to Canada roughly a week after his return. “Our agents are getting answers as to where he went, who he met with, and how those trips may or may not tie into his actions here in our city in New Orleans,” Myrthil said.

Radical Islamist terror groups such as ISIS and AQAP, al Qaeda’s branch in Yemen, have long advised supporters to use heavy vehicles as deadly weapons. Why some choose vehicles over other weapons“A vehicle attack doesn’t require any special training,” CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen said. The attack killed 32-year-old civil rights activist Heather Heyer. Ahmad Gharabli/AFP/Getty Images Israeli security forces and emergency personnel gather at the site of the vehicle attack. Why it happened: ISIS said the attack was retaliation for France’s role in the fight against ISIS.

“I wanted to record this message for my family,” Shamsud-Din Jabbar said in the videos. Jabbar, 42, drove a rented truck from Houston to New Orleans on New Year’s Eve, authorities said, posting videos online along the way. While it may not have surprised experts, Jabbar’s rampage has bewildered his family, friends and colleagues, who described him as kind and unassuming. “It’s a complete surprise, a shock to everyone,” Jabbar’s half brother, Abdur-Rahim Jabbar IV, 24, said in an interview this week. Jabbar expressed being upset about the situation, calling it “genocide on both sides.”After his most recent divorce, Jabbar seemed to become more devout, though he never discussed ISIS or any radical ideologies.

The driver who killed 14 people in an ISIS-inspired attack by plowing into a crowded New Orleans street on New Year’s Day had planned to use a transmitter to detonate two explosive devices he had placed nearby, authorities have said. Neither of the explosive devices were detonated, and it remains unclear whether the failure was due to a malfunction, lack of activation, or another issue. The transmitter and two guns were recovered from Jabbar’s truck, the statement said, and are being transported to an FBI laboratory for testing. Federal investigators examining the attack say that Jabbar used a very rare explosive compound in the two devices, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News. The FBI has stated that the investigation remains ongoing and it has not changed its posture that Jabbar acted alone.

The ISIS-inspired attack in New Orleans underscores how extremism online and political divisions at home have created “a perfect storm” for radicalization in America, experts say, with law enforcement struggling to track an increasingly fractured threat. And all that is playing into a perfect storm of factors that are leading to an increase in radicalization.”According to the federal government, the main terror threat to the U.S. now is lone actors inspired by extremism ideology. But sometimes, as in the New Orleans attack, the driving ideology is radical Islamism. Berger, an extremism researcher with the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said in an email. That shift had the center’s vice president, Oren Segal, worried even before the New Orleans attack, he said.

Another question is whether Trump should have weighed in when New Orleans was on edge and authorities were still piecing together what happened and why. Fox later corrected its report to say the truck had actually crossed the border in November, with a driver who "did not appear to be" the suspect in the New Orleans attack. Conservatives on social media took note of the initial report, concluding that the suspect was a migrant and that lax border security might be to blame for the attack. “President Trump rightfully highlighted that criminals crossing the border have committed some of the most heinous crimes this country has witnessed in its history," he said. A Trump transition official predicted that the attacks would help ensure those national security selections are ultimately confirmed.
