FBI bomb technicians in New Orleans have successfully recovered two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that were placed in coolers in the Bourbon Street area. The suspect in Wednesday's deadly New Orleans crowd attack, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was seen on surveillance footage placing the IEDs in the area.
According to Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia with the FBI Counterterrorism Division, the IEDs were placed in the area hours before the attack, between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. One of the devices was found near the intersection of Bourbon and Orleans Street, while the other was located approximately two blocks away.
