The New Orleans Fire Department took swift action to evacuate numerous individuals from nearby residences and alerted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, as reported by FOX 8.

Jabbar enlisted in the U.S. Navy on Aug. 12, 2004, in Houston and was discharged from a delayed entry program one month later on Sept. 13, 2004, meaning he did not go on to serve, a U.S. Navy spokesperson told Fox News. 

The FBI is reportedly looking to track down associates of Jabbar who may have been involved in the attack.
