Late Sunday morning, officials in New Orleans, Louisiana, held a press conference to update the public regarding the state of their investigation into the New Year’s Day terrorist attack launched by (the now-deceased) Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
There were a number of details shared by the FBI and ATF Special Agents in Charge (SACs), not least of which was the revelation that Jabbar had traveled out of the country (to Egypt and Canada) in 2023 and had made at least two reconnaissance treks to New Orleans in the months leading up to the attack.
On his October New Orleans visits, Jabbar used Meta smart glasses while riding a bicycle to film the French Quarter. He was also wearing the glasses at the time of the attack, but they were not activated to livestream it.
