Bomb-making materials found at New Orleans Airbnb linked to Bourbon Street terrorist: report

It was reported that bomb-making materials were discovered at an Airbnb in New Orleans. Authorities are looking into a potential connection to a truck-ramming terror incident during a New Year’s celebration on Bourbon Street, which tragically resulted in the loss of at least 15 lives and left over 30 others wounded. 

A fire occurred at a suspected Airbnb location on Mandeville Street in the St. Roch neighborhood of New Orleans at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday. 

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. 

Bomb-making materials were discovered at the property, sources confirmed to the outlet.

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.
