The FBI has released a new image of New Orleans terrorist attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar along with new details about his internet search history as the investigation into the New Year’s attack continues.

In a press release, the FBI said the Bourbon Street terrorist’s internet history showed he was looking into Bourbon Street balcony access, information on Mardi Gras and shootings that happened in the city, as late as mid-November. 

Investigators also revealed that Jabbar researched the Christmas market ramming attack in Germany just hours before the attack on Bourbon Street.

On Nov. 10, officials said, Jabbar took a train from Houston, Texas to New Orleans and returned to Texas that evening on a bus.

Officials said a total of 136 victims have been identified, including two businesses that suffered damage. 

Jabbar killed 14 civilians when he rammed a rented Ford F-150 truck through a New Year’s crowd celebrating on Bourbon Street around 3:15 a.m. on Jan. 1. He then began shooting at police, who returned fire, killing the attacker.

“The FBI, along with our partners, continue to work around the clock to determine what motivated Shamsud-Din Jabbar to drive his truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street. Thanks to the overwhelming response from the public, the FBI is closer to getting answers for those families who lost loved ones and the other victims of the New Year’s Day attack,” FBI officials said in a statement. 

As the investigation continues, the FBI is urging anyone with information or video of the incident to reach out to www.fbi.gov/bourbonstreetattack or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
