The investigation into the New Year's terror attack in New Orleans, Houston, US is being conducted with an initial probe into the attack. Initial investigations have revealed that ISIS-inspired terrorist Shamsuddin Jabbar kept a bomb-making workbench in his dilapidated Texas trailer home. Where the Quran was left open to a page about "killing" in the name of Allah. This is revealed in some photographs obtained by The Post.

Terrorist Jabbar's North Houston home was filled with chemical residue and chemical bottles, while items confiscated by FBI investigators who raided his home on Wednesday included a long list of several ingredients used to make bombs. His Quran sat atop the bookshelf that took center stage in his living room, with a passage open that read, "They fight for Allah, and kill and are killed; a promise binding."

Books related to Islam were also found.

This passage from the Quran, verse 9:111, highlights the responsibility of Muslims to kill the enemies of Allah, and to be willing to die for that mission in exchange for an eternal life in paradise. In Jabbar's home, several books on Islam were kept on shelves and around the house, while a prayer rug was kept rolled up nearby.

FBI officials investigating the attack said on Thursday that Jabbar posted five horrific videos on Facebook during his journey from Houston to New Orleans, hours before the terrorist attack on Bourbon Street. In this terrorist attack, 14 innocent pedestrians were killed. A Ford F-150 truck loaded with explosives and bearing the black flag of ISIS was driven into the crowd, injuring a large number of people.

wanted to kill family members

FBI counterterrorism official Chris Raya said, “Jabbar posted the first of the disturbing videos at 1:29 a.m. in which he says he initially planned to kill his family and friends, but changed his plans because he feared the event would not be focused on during media coverage as a “war between believers and non-believers.”

In another video, he says he joined ISIS “earlier this summer,” and also shows his last will and testament.

What made you become a terrorist?

Investigators have confirmed that 42-year-old Jabbar was ideologically associated with ISIS and he had specifically chosen Bourbon Street for the terrorist attack. However, it is not yet known what was the reason behind his radicalization.

At one point, he was an IT expert and his career was going well, but then he faced tough times personally and financially. Both his marriages failed. He was troubled by the ever-increasing debt.

Born in Texas, Jabbar joined the Army in 2006, then served at bases in Alaska and North Carolina before deploying to Afghanistan in 2009, where he spent about 11 months. He is not believed to have flown on any combat missions, though he was promoted to staff sergeant in 2013, the Wall Street Journal says.
