Footage obtained by CNN shows Jabbar preparing for the deadly attack that rocked New Orleans on New Year's Day. Just a few hours before the rampage, Jabbar can be seen moving around the same pickup truck that he used to carry out the terror attack. He can then be seen loading what appears to be weapons and explosives at the back of the Ford F-150.

The car was parked outside his rental AirBnB that sits just two miles away from the Bourbon Street locations where he carried out the attack. It is understood that Jabbar picked up the Ford pickup truck on December 30 from Houston using a carsharing app called Turo.

The vehicle was spotted in Baytown, Texas on New Year's Eve heading towards New Orleans. Just a few hours later the truck reappeared in the city's bustling French Quarter which was packed out with people celebrating the start of 2025. Then at around 3:15am on Wednesday the terrifying attack got underway with Jabbar appearing to drive up Canal Street before turning onto Bourbon Street.

Chilling footage shows the driver swerving around barricades set up to stop cars from passing before speeding up and smashing into dozens of people. Cops believe Jabbar intentionally rammed revellers with the white pickup as he was trying to "run over as many people as he possibly could".
