From Fox News: 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.
Investigators believe the Airbnb was rented by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the 42-year-old man who sped down Bourbon Street at 3:15 a.m. Wednesday morning and mowed down dozens of people while they were celebrating New Year’s.
The Airbnb rented by the #NewOrleans terrorist was operating illegally, meaning that the property was not licensed by the @CityOfNOLA. The neighborhood was evacuated hours after the attack when the house suddenly caught fire. 🤔#CajunNavy #NewOrleansTerrorAttack pic.twitter.com/eFWDlWsgBb
