Meta Glasses, Bombs, and an ISIS Flag: Investigators Reveal Shocking Details of the French Quarter Attack
A week after the horrific attack in New Orleans on New Year’s morning 2025, which claimed numerous lives, investigators have released new details.
The 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar apparently planned his act meticulously. Several visits to New Orleans prior to the attack suggest that he scouted the area thoroughly. He used inconspicuous smart glasses to record the location. Two homemade explosive devices, hidden shortly before the attack in the French Quarter, highlight the precision of his preparations. The bombs were equipped with remote triggers that were operated from his vehicle.
Investigators point to strong ideological motivations. Jabbar had released several videos just hours before the attack, in which he pledged his support to the so-called Islamic State (ISIS). President Biden confirmed that the attacker was inspired by ISIS.
