New Orleans ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar had researched online what kind of car was used in a deadly German Christmas market attack — just days before carrying out his New Year’s Day onslaught, the FBI said Tuesday.
Jabbar also searched for past shootings in New Orleans, the city’s famous Mardi Gras celebration and even how to access a balcony on the famed Bourbon Street, according to an initial review of his devices.
At least 57 people were injured in the attack, the FBI’s newest update said, along with the 14 who were killed.
The 42-year-old killer, who became a more devout Muslim in 2022, had carried out some of the online searches in the hours just before he rammed into revelers in the city’s historic French Quarter with a rented truck in the New Year’s Day attack, the feds added.
