Federal investigators found bomb-making materials while searching the Texas home of the man responsible for the deadly truck attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, law enforcement officials said Friday.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S.-born citizen from Texas, was living in Houston. It's not clear what types of materials the investigators found at the Houston home. They took inventory of the materials and returned the home back to its owner.
Officials say Jabbar drove from Houston to New Orleans in a rented pickup truck and plowed through a crowd of revelers at around 3 a.m. on New Year's Day, killing 14 people and injuring dozens. Officials said he was shot dead by police.
