Man behind New Year's attack visited New Orleans before, recorded video with smart glasses, FBI says

The man responsible for the deadly truck attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day visited the city twice before and recorded video of the French Quarter with Meta smart glasses. That is according to FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia. Authorities say the attack by Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed 14 people and injured dozens of others. The investigation is continuing into Jabbar’s motives and how he carried out the attack before he was killed by police during a firefight. The former U.S. Army soldier proclaimed his support for the Islamic State militant group in online videos posted hours before he struck.
