Brother of New Orleans attacker speaks out after deadly Bourbon Street New Year's Day rampage

Brother of New Orleans attacker speaks out after deadly Bourbon Street New Year's Day rampage

Two days after a man drove a rented truck into a crowd of revelers on New Orleans' Bourbon Street, killing at least 14 people before he was killed in a shootout with police, his family is providing more details about his life before the attack. 

The driver, identified by officials as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, was a U.S.-born citizen from Texas and an Army veteran who law enforcement sources say was armed with an AR-15-style weapon and handgun. He also planted two improvised explosive devices or IEDs, but those were found and neutralized by law enforcement. When he drove through the crowd, he had an ISIS flag on the truck's trailer hitch and had posted videos to social media in the hours and minutes before the attack declaring his support for the terrorist organization. The attack is being investigated by the FBI as an act of terrorism. 

His younger brother Abdur-Rahim Jabbar, 24, told CBS News that he and Jabbar weren't close growing up, because of their large age gap, but had bonded in 2023 as they cared for their father after he had a stroke. Abdur-Rahim Jabbar had noticed his brother becoming more outwardly religious but said he saw nothing to suggest his brother was being radicalized.
