Federal investigators believe a US Army veteran who drove a truck into a crowd of New Year's revelers in New Orleans' French Quarter prepared the IED explosives at a nearby rental property.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a US citizen born and raised in Texas drove an electric vehicle from Houston to Louisiana to carry out the deadly attack which killed 15 and left at least 35 injured.
Investigators are probing the theory he rented a nearby property on Airbnb in St. Roch for his base before carrying out the attack.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photographs show the moment the FBI removed bomb making materials from the two-bedroom and two-bathroom property close to the French Quarter.
A total containment vessel was seen being taken away from the property at around 8pm on New Years Day, hours after authorities had evacuated residents from the area.
The area is mostly rentals available to tourists travelling to the area for the holiday period, who have now been left without a place to stay.
Authorities told one couple ‘not to count’ on being allowed back into the properties, blocking off a three-street radius.
The FBI were joined by special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Homeland Security.

Increase by 3X the level of corruption and incompetence. Yeah; that’ll do it. I’m sure that Aletha Duncan will run a well-old investigation and get to the bottom of things.
Thing 1: Be able to identify an ISIS caliphate flag.
“So the US army Veteran is the primary label used to describe him, but NOT a muslim terrorist?”
In the FBI’s original printed statement, he was called and “individual” and a “subject”. Not a Muslim.
That ahole Bush sure did set America on a wrong path at the get-go, declaring that Islam is a religion of peace. I suppose many believed him — never heard of the Crusades or studied world religions.
“The soviets have raised spies in this country from childbirth.”
I laugh at the reporters discussing when/how was this guy radicalized — as if it just occurred recently.
I believe his parents were/are part of sleeper cells embedded in the USA decades ago. He wasn’t suddenly “radicalized”; it’s how he was raised at home — terrorism is his job.
On the bright side it happened on Biden’s watch, under Biden’s DHS.
Maybe I just missed it, but I’m surprised I haven’t heard anyone mention the SuperBowl today.
Well it certainly screwed up a quarter final college football playoff Sugar Bowl.
Okay, I want my time back, I found it horrifying that I couldn’t seem to garner what the ‘horrifying’ discovery the Feebs made.
There was some mention of the Superbowl in regards to the barriers that are used to prevent automobiles from driving in the French Quarter. Folks were questioning how the white truck got past the barriers and the answer was the barriers were down for 'repair' ahead of the Superbowl.
Obama AND Michelle AND Kamala Harris were raised by and trained by and associated with Communists from birth. Obama further trained and raised in a Muslim society under Muslim training and schooling until early college back in New York. Michelle less so.
Biden and Pelosi were merely raised by grifters and con artists from birth. (But I slander honest grifters and con artists with that comparison.)
” FBI were joined by special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Homeland Security.”
A trifecta of corruption, oppression, and incompetence.
They could assign teams of three agents to accompany each AirBnB renter from the cordoned off area, one address at a time, to retrieve their personal belongings, at a cost of having the Feds do a wanding and bomb sniffing of their rental and their vehicle. Triage anyone elderly, those who need their medications or people with babies/toddlers.
I realize it's probably an AutoFill error, but "well-old" is pretty clost to how we pronounce "well-oiled" in the South!

Dubya leads King Abdullah by the hand through the gardens of his Texas ranch in 2005.
Damn auto correct!
Actually, here in TN, it would be “well-awled”. LOL!
Me too.
Insightful. Just like we need to create laws to protect 'good samaritans' we also need to create new laws to protect police officers. Lawyers and the deep state have don't their best to cripple law enforcement... to the determent of citizens. (which doesn't mean the FBI is off the hook - they need to be cleaned up and reorganized). Trump has so much stuff to do when he takes office.
yep. The “Islam is a religion of peace” line will rank up there with “peace in our time” in the history books.
