A CHILLING video shows the moment the terror suspect rammed through the police barrier at the beginning of the New Orleans terror attack. The suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, is then believed to have ploughed into revellers down Bourbon Street before opening fire and killing 10.

He was then gunned down by cops and killed. Video posted to social media showed the white truck driving with traffic before sharply turning right and speeding past police. Jabbar drove onto a sidewalk to avoid a cop car blocking the road, bollards, and officers who were there protecting the public, Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said.

Kirkpatrick said the gunman drove the pick-up truck down Bourbon Street "at a very fast pace" and was "intentional" "trying to run over as many people as he possibly could". She said: "This is not just an act of terrorism. This is evil.". Pipe bombs were found inside the car and concealed within coolers and were wired for remote detonation, a state police intelligence bulletin obtained by AP said.

The FBI said an ISIS flag was found attached to a white pipe sticking up from the hitch of the rented Ford pickup. Some bollards were missing as they were being replaced ahead of February's Super Bowl. Kirkpatrick said: "So we did indeed have a plan, but the terrorist defeated it.".
