FBI officials said on Sunday that the investigation into Shamsud-Din Jabbar has expanded, as they have discovered that he had crossed “state and international borders” including into both Egypt and Canada in the years leading up to the attack.
Officials say that Jabbar, who drove a Ford F-150 into crowds in New Orleans earlier this week, traveled to Cairo from June 22 to July 3, 2023. He then flew into Ontario on July 10 and returned to the US on July 13. Special Agent Lionel Myrthil did not elaborate on how the new information may explain a motive for the attack.

The FBI said that Jabbar had joined the terrorist organization “before this summer.” Two IEDs were recovered from the area and an ISIS flag was recovered “from the back of the vehicle.”
