The FBI has released an eerie video of suspected terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar ahead of his attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
There are five clips in total showing Jabbar’s movements ahead of the deadly strike in the early hours of New Year’s Day. The footage, which has no sound, is a mixture of CCTV capturing the suspect in action, and that taken by Jabbar himself from his Meta glasses, as he travels around the US city’s French Quarter.
Jabbar was said to have been dressed in military gear and carrying an ISIS flag in his truck when it ploughed into a crowd of party-goers at around 3.15am on January 1. The FBI say the attacker, who left 14 people dead and at least 35 injured, was acting alone.

The 42-year-old US citizen, who was born in Texas, allegedly shot at police and was killed at the scene.
And in the YouTube video which runs to 3mins 49 secs, the FBI has edited together five snippets to show the vile monster plotting and carrying out his deadly plans.
The first clip is shot from Jabbar’s glasses as he cycles through the French Quarter on October 31. In a second video, Jabbar can be seen recording himself in the mirror at home as he tests out his glasses.
The third clip taken at around 1.53am, local time, on January 1, sees Jabbar leaving the first IED inside a blue cooler at Bourbon Street and St Peters Street. It was eventually found a block away at Orleans Street after multiple unknowing Bourbon Street visitors grabbed the cooler’s handle and moved it.
In clip four, Jabbar leaves the second IED inside a “bucket-style” cooler at Bourbon and Toulouse Streets at 2.20am.
And in the final clip Jabbar is seen clearly on surveillance video walking down Governor Nicholls St. He walked towards his truck to pick up the second cooler.

More than 400 tips in relation to the horror attack have been provided by the public to the FBI which, along with its law enforcement partners, is reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance video from the New Orleans French Quarter and other locations.
