A Houston man, identified as Jabbar, is responsible for the New Orleans truck attack. He acted alone and initially considered attacking his relatives before changing his mind. Investigators believe Jabbar rented a truck in Houston and drove to New Orleans, posting videos online pledging allegiance to ISIS.
Houston man behind the New Orleans truck attack acted alone; first considered attacking relatives, officials say. New details emerge about Houston man linked to New Orleans attack, his now-removed YouTube video. FBI officials in New Orleans provided the public with the latest information on the attack shortly after 10 a.m. on Thursday morning. Not long afterward, a man was seen coming out of a house with his hands raised as officers had their guns drawn.
He appears to have been taken into custody. Investigators believe Jabbar rented the Ford F150 in Houston back on December 30 and drove from Houston to New Orleans the following evening. During this time, he posted several videos online pledging his support of ISIS. In the first video posted, Jabbar says that he first planned to harm his family and friends, rather than the public. He said he changed his mind, because he believed that the news headlines from such an attack would not focus on the “war between the believers and the disbelievers.
