Bomb-making materials were reportedly found at a New Orleans Airbnb, as authorities investigate a possible connection to the truck-ramming terror attack that killed at least 15 people and injured over 30 others on Bourbon Street during a New Year’s celebration.

An ISIS flag, weapons and a potential improvised explosive device (IED) were found in the vehicle, and other IEDs were found in the French Quarter, the FBI confirmed. 

Jabbar enlisted in the U.S. Navy on Aug. 12, 2004, in Houston and was discharged from a delayed entry program one month later on Sept. 13, 2004, meaning he did not go on to serve, a U.S. Navy spokesperson told Fox News. 

The FBI is reportedly looking to track down associates of Jabbar who may have been involved in the attack.
