The FBI has released footage from Meta smart glasses worn by ISIS-affiliated terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar prior to his deadly attack in New Orleans' French Quarter. The video, recorded during a reconnaissance trip to the bustling tourist district, offers a harrowing glimpse into Jabbar's perspective before he carried out the attack that claimed 14 lives and left dozens injured.

The FBI has released footage from Meta smart glasses worn by ISIS-affiliated terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar prior to his deadly attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

The video, recorded during a reconnaissance trip to the bustling tourist district, offers a harrowing glimpse into Jabbar’s perspective before he carried out the attack that claimed 14 lives and left dozens injured.

Jabbar used a rented pickup truck to plow through crowds on the iconic street, killing 14 people and injuring at least 35 others.

Authorities later revealed that Jabbar had planted improvised explosive devices (IEDs) around the French Quarter with the intent to detonate them remotely, potentially causing even more casualties.

The attack ended when officers from the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) fatally shot Jabbar before he could access the remote detonator for the IEDs.

“We believe the transmitter would have worked, but for the swift action of the NOPD, who neutralized him before he could detonate the devices,” said Joshua Jackson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s New Orleans Field Division.

The footage, recorded during Jabbar’s reconnaissance, shows him cycling through the French Quarter while filming with the smart glasses.

The video highlights the densely packed area, revealing his meticulous planning and deliberate targeting of a popular tourist destination.

Jabbar, reportedly inspired by the Islamic State (ISIS), had a troubled personal history, including three ex-wives and three children, according to public records.

Investigators are now working to piece together the extent of his connections to ISIS and any potential accomplices who may have aided in planning the attack.

The French Quarter, a hub for tourists and revelers, remains in shock following the tragedy. Authorities have ramped up security in major cities across the U.S. to prevent similar incidents.

The FBI is urging anyone with information about Jabbar’s activities or possible accomplices to come forward. Tips can be submitted to the FBI’s hotline at 1-800-CALL-FBI or through their website.

This attack underscores the continued threat posed by lone actors inspired by extremist ideologies, and it highlights the importance of vigilance and swift law enforcement response in mitigating such threats.
