The FBI has released a chilling final photo of New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar with a bomb just an hour before he drove into a crowd killing at least 14 people. New CCTV footage disclosed by the FBI shows the 42-year-old walking along Dauphine Street at around 2.03am local time. Jabbar can be seen wearing a light brown coat, blue jeans, brown dress shoes, and a dark button-down shirt.

The FBI released another disturbing photo showing one of the two coolers containing explosive devices (IEDs) that he placed near Bourbon and Orleans Streets just before driving his truck into a crowd. Jabbar was fatally shot in a firefight with police after steering his speeding truck around a barricade and plowing into the crowd. About 30 people were injured.

Investigators found guns and what appeared to be an improvised explosive device in the vehicle — which bore the flag of the Islamic State group — along with other explosive devices elsewhere in the French Quarter. Five videos Jabbar posted on his Facebook account in the hours before the attack showed him previewing the violence that he would soon carry out, the FBI said Thursday. He also proclaimed his support for the Islamic State and said he joined the militant group before last summer, the FBI said.

Surveillance videos the FBI obtained showed Jabbar placing potential explosive devices concealed in coolers in the French Quarter, the agency said Thursday. Initially, investigators believed that others had left behind the improvised explosive devices.
