Shamsud-Din Jabbar (FBI)
early reports said multiple suspects were involved in the New Orleans terrorist attack now FBI says Shamsud Din Jabbar acted alone. FBI Deputy Assistant Director of Counter Terrorism confirmed there was no one else assisting Jabbar in placing the IEDs.
“A lot of the early reports came out that extra people were setting the coolers down. Turns out they were just patrons on the street looking inside the coolers, but we didn’t know that at first. So, we had to track that down and put that to rest.”
Raia says Jabbar had three cell phones and two laptops and after searching the devices they can confirm that no information on the devices linked anyone else to the attack.
“Just nothing to indicate through call records, through anything on those devices, through interviews, through anything in our systems that he was aided in his attack by anybody.”
Raia says the investigation continues into Jabbar and asks anyone who has ever seen or been in contact with Jabbar for any reason to contact the FBI.
“Whether you know Jabbar personally, worked with him, served in the military, or saw him in New Orleans or Texas we need to talk to you. You may not thing you have relevant information, but what you know could tie into one of our investigation leads.”
