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. 

A small fire broke out at a suspected Airbnb property located in the 1300 block of Mandeville Street in the St. Roch neighborhood of New Orleans around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday. 

The New Orleans Fire Department evacuated dozens of people from nearby homes and contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, FOX 8 reported. 

Bomb-making materials were discovered at the property, sources confirmed to the outlet.

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.

In Las Vegas early Wednesday, a Tesla Cybertruck loaded with firework mortars and camp fuel canisters exploded outside President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel, killing the driver and sole occupant inside and injuring at least seven others nearby. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Chief Kevin McMahill told reporters that authorities “are absolutely investigating any connectivity to what happened in New Orleans as well as other attacks that have been occurring around the world.”
