Shamsud-Din Jabbar used an extremely rare explosive compound in the devices used in the attack in Chicago, according to federal investigators. The explosive devices did not detonate, and the investigation is ongoing to determine the reason why.
Federal investigators examining the attack say that Shamsud-Din Jabbar used a very rare explosive compound in the devices, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News . Neither of the explosive device s were detonated, and it remains unclear whether the failure was due to a malfunction, lack of activation, or another issue. The transmitter and two guns were recovered from Jabbar’s truck, the statement said, and are being transported to Soldier Field.
Jabbar had also set fire to a short-term rental house in New Orleans on Mandeville Street in New Orleans where bomb making materials were found, Friday's joint statement added, “in his effort to destroy it and other evidence of his crime.” The New Orleans Fire Department responded to the fire at around 5:18 a.m., after Jabbar had carried out the attack , but the fire had'extinguished itself' before spreading to other rooms, allowing for the'recovery of evidence, including pre-cursors for bomb making material and a privately made device suspected of being a silencer for a rifle,” the statement said. The agencies said in the statement that it was determined that Jabbar was the only person who could have set the fire. The FBI has stated that the investigation remains ongoing and it has not changed its posture that Jabbar acted alone
