The suspect behind the New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, which killed at least 10 people and injured 30, has been identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42.
Investigators have reviewed video showing three men and a woman placing an improvised explosive device in connection with the car attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
That’s according to a Louisiana State Police bulletin obtained by The Associated Press.
The revelation could help explain why officials at a Wednesday news conference said that they were aggressively hunting for additional suspects and did not believe the driver of the pickup truck, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, acted alone.
This is a developing news story and will be updated with more information.
