On New Year's Eve in New Orleans, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an Army veteran, carried out a deadly attack that resulted in 14 fatalities and over two dozen injuries.

Surveillance footage captured Jabbar just an hour before he drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street around 3:15 a.m.

Prior to the attack, Jabbar placed two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along Bourbon Street, which fortunately did not detonate.

Law enforcement has classified Jabbar's actions as a terrorist act, asserting that they were '100% inspired by ISIS' and that he acted alone.

While sulfuric acid is commercially available and can be combined with other substances to create explosives, the FBI did not disclose Jabbar's intended use for it.

After the attack, Jabbar exited his vehicle and fired at law enforcement, who returned fire, resulting in his death at the scene.

The IEDs left behind by Jabbar were likely made of RDX, a common explosive, but the reasons for their failure to detonate remain unclear.

The FBI revealed that Jabbar had driven from Houston to New Orleans in a rental truck, during which he posted Facebook videos expressing support for ISIS and discussing a shift in his targeting focus.

Before the attack, Jabbar allegedly set fire to the short-term rental home he occupied in New Orleans to destroy evidence, where bomb-making materials and a suspected silencer were discovered.

Following the attack, the FBI conducted a search of a storage locker linked to Jabbar in Texas, where they found bottles of sulfuric acid, a chemical commonly used in explosives.

FBI officials in Houston confirmed that there is no ongoing threat to the public related to Jabbar's actions.

Inside Jabbar's vehicle, the FBI discovered an ISIS flag, weapons, and an IED, further indicating the premeditated nature of his attack.
