SUMMARY:

The FBI released video footage revealing the actions of terrorist suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar before a deadly New Orleans attack.

Forensic expert David Thomas suggests Jabbar meticulously planned the attack, scouting points of entry and exits. On January 1st, Jabbar was seen placing two failed homemade bombs on Bourbon Street, using incorrect materials and lacking proper detonators. A long brown coat found at the scene matched one worn by Jabbar in the videos, highlighting his involvement in the deadly attack.
