One trip took place in October, while the other was in November. Myrthil also said Jabbar had ridden through the city's French Quarter on a bicycle wearing smart glasses made by Ray-Ban that are capable of recording video and are connected to a user's Facebook account.
The FBI has identified 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar as the man accused of killing at least 14 people in New Orleans early on New Year’s Day by ramming a truck into a crowd, an incident that is now being probed as an ISIS-inspired terrorist act—with investigators adding Sunday they’re looking into two earlier visits to New Orleans and a trip to Egypt.
He added: "We have tracked that Jabbar traveled to Cairo, Egypt, from June 22 until July 3 of 2023. "A few days later, he flew to Ontario, Canada on July 10 and returned to the U.S. on July 13, 2023. "Our agents are getting answers as to where he went, who he met with and how those trysts may or may not tie into his actions here in our city."
