now TO THE LATEST IN THE INVESTIGATION on the new years terror attack in new orleans,  MORE DETAILS ARE EMERGING ABOUT THE MAN, who  AUTHORITIES SAY KILLED 14 PEOPLE AND INJURED DOZENS MORE WHEN HE DROVE A RENTED TRUCK INTO A CROWD OF REVELERS.

THE F-B-I SAYS THE ATTACKER — SHAMSUD-DIN JABBAR — VISITED THE CITY TWICE IN THE WEEKS BEFORE THE DEADLY ACT OF TERRORISM AND RECORDED VIDEO OF THE AREA USING META, SMART GLASSES.

AUTHORITIES ALSO BELIEVE JABBAR SET FIRE TO A SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOUSE IN NEW ORLEANS,  WHERE INVESTIGATORS FOUND BOMB-MAKING MATERIAL.

THEY SAY HE PLANTED TWO BOMBS IN THE FRENCH QUARTER BEFORE THE TRUCK ATTACK — BUT NEITHER DETONATED.

JABBAR WAS KILLED AFTER OPENING FIRE ON RESPONDING POLICE OFFICERS.
