官员称,卡车冲撞嫌疑人在简易爆炸装置爆炸失败中使用了错误的装置

2025-01-06 09:39 -ABC  -  264505

  元旦致命卡车冲撞案的嫌疑人攻击美国联邦调查局称,在新奥尔良,他曾于10月和11月两次前往该市,显然是为了寻找实施暴行的最佳地点,甚至用一副Meta智能眼镜录制了骑自行车穿越法国街区的视频。

  负责该局新奥尔良外地办事处的特工利奥内尔·米尔希尔(Lyonel Myrthil)周日在新闻发布会上表示,嫌疑人沙姆苏德·丁·贾巴尔(Shamsud-Din Jabbar)现年42岁,是一名退伍军人,也是休斯顿的房地产经纪人,据称他在美国东部时间1月1日凌晨3点15分实施袭击时也戴着Meta眼镜,但显然没有录制袭击或试图直播袭击。

  袭击发生在新奥尔良繁华的法国区波旁街的三个街区,造成至少14人死亡,数十人受伤。

  美国联邦调查局官员称,得克萨斯州居民贾巴尔在袭击前在社交媒体上宣称支持恐怖组织“伊斯兰国”,他在与新奥尔良警方的交火中被打死。

  米尔希尔说,调查发现贾巴尔在10月和11月两次前往新奥尔良。他说,贾巴尔的第一次新奥尔良之旅始于2024年10月30日。

  “他在城里至少呆了两天。在那段时间里,贾巴尔戴着Meta眼镜,在骑自行车穿越法国区时录制了一段视频。“随着我们对那次旅行的进一步了解,我们请任何可能见过他或与他有过互动的人与我们联系。”

  米尔希尔说,贾巴尔在11月10日又去了一趟新奥尔良。

  “但我们仍在拼凑那次旅行的细节,”米尔希尔说。

  负责新奥尔良酒精、烟草、火器和爆炸物办公室的特工乔舒亚·杰克逊说,12月31日深夜,有人看到贾巴尔在圣罗克社区曼德维尔街的一家Airbnb租赁店卸下袭击中使用的白色租赁卡车。

  据米尔希尔说,美国联邦调查局认为贾巴尔是在12月31日下午2:30进入路易斯安那的。

  杰克逊说,在1月1日凌晨12点15分离开家之前,就在袭击发生前三个小时,贾巴尔据称将汽油浇在离住所最近的亚麻布上,并点燃了它,显然是希望摧毁财产和留在里面的任何证据。

  然而,杰克逊说,大火在蔓延到房屋中的其他助燃剂之前就自行熄灭了。他说,新奥尔良消防局扑灭了大火,防止了大规模的破坏,并允许调查人员没收嫌疑人留下的爆炸材料和其他证据。

  米尔希尔说,美国联邦调查局已经审查了一段视频,显示贾巴尔在袭击前在法国区的街道上放置了两个简易爆炸装置,并将装置藏在冷却器中。米尔希尔说,其中一个冷却器“不知不觉地”被一个与这起暴力事件无关的人从波旁街和圣彼得街的另一个地方移到了法国区大约一个街区外的另一个地方。

  杰克逊说,初步现场测试表明,简易爆炸装置含有他所说的“R-盐炸药”,他说这种材料类似于RDX炸药,很容易在美国获得。

  杰克逊说,调查人员不相信贾巴尔是从海外获得R-盐炸药的,一些媒体报道了这一点。

  杰克逊说,留在两个冷却器中的简易爆炸装置没有爆炸,要么是因为贾巴尔在卡车相撞后发生的枪战中被新奥尔良警察击毙,要么是因为他使用了错误的机制来引爆炸药。他说,贾巴尔似乎打算用电子火柴或业余爱好开关来引爆装置,这两种东西在美国都很容易买到,而不是更专业的引爆装置,后者更难获得。

  “他没有使用正确的或正确的装置来引爆它,这只是表明他缺乏经验,缺乏对材料如何引爆的理解,”杰克逊说。

  杰克逊说,调查人员认为贾巴尔在休斯顿的家中制造了简易爆炸装置,在那里搜查发现了制造炸弹的材料,包括RDX炸药。

  他说,美国联邦调查局实验室的技术人员正在比较在贾巴尔休斯顿住所发现的爆炸材料和在简易爆炸装置中发现的材料。

  杰克森说:“美国联邦调查局实验室将对这种材料进行额外的测试,我们相信这种材料会成为在美国常见的爆炸物。”

  米尔希尔说,调查人员仍在调查贾巴尔最近的旅行,试图确定他是如何变得激进的。据美国联邦调查局报道,在贾巴尔从德克萨斯开车到新奥尔良的录像中,可以听到他“宣称支持“伊斯兰国””,并提到他在今年夏天之前就加入了恐怖组织。

  但该机构反恐部门的美国联邦调查局副助理主任克里斯托弗·拉亚(Christopher Raia)周日说,调查人员迄今没有发现贾巴尔在袭击中得到“伊斯兰国”或美国或其他地方任何其他人帮助的证据。

  “我们没有看到任何迹象表明在美国有同谋,但我们仍在调查美国和境外的潜在同伙,”拉亚说。

  他说,美国联邦调查局将继续调查贾巴尔在2023年6月前往开罗的一次旅行中会见了谁以及与谁有关联。拉伊亚说,贾巴尔从埃及返回美国后,于2023年7月10日飞往加拿大安大略省进行单独旅行,并于2023年7月13日返回美国。

  在美国,拉伊亚说,调查还把美国联邦调查局带到了亚特兰大、佛罗里达州坦帕湾和休斯顿。

  杰克逊说,贾巴尔在袭击中使用了一支9毫米半自动手枪和一支0.308口径半自动步枪,配有“自制消音器”。他说在嫌疑人租住的曼德维尔街的房子里发现了另一个私人制造的消音器。

  杰克逊说,12月31日,在贾巴尔前往新奥尔良之前,有人在休斯顿地区的几家枪支商店看到他。

  杰克逊没有透露贾巴尔是从哪里获得这把手枪的,但他表示,这把步枪是2024年11月19日在德克萨斯州阿灵顿通过一次“私人销售”购买的。

  “根据我们的调查,这个人不认识贾巴尔。这是一次偶然的相遇,”杰克逊说,并补充说,这种私人枪支销售在德克萨斯州是合法的。“这个人不可能知道贾巴尔是激进分子,也不可能知道这次袭击即将发生。”

  Truck-ramming suspect used wrong device in failed detonation of IEDs: Officials

  The suspect in the deadly New Year's Day truck-rammingattackin New Orleans made two previous trips to the city in October and November, apparently scouting the best location to carry out his rampage, even using a pair of Meta smart glasses to record video of a bicycle ride through the French Quarter, the FBI said.

  The suspect -- Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, an Army veteran and Houston realtor -- was also wearing Meta glasses when he allegedly executed the attack at 3:15 a.m. CT on Jan. 1, but apparently did not record the attack or attempt to livestream it, Lyonel Myrthil, special agent in charge of the bureau's New Orleans field office, said during a news conference on Sunday.

  At least 14 people were killed and dozens were injured in the attack, which occurred over a three-block stretch of Bourbon Street in New Orleans' bustling French Quarter.

  Jabbar, a Texas resident who FBI officials said proclaimed his support for the terror group ISIS in social media posts ahead of the attack, was killed in gunfire exchanged with New Orleans police.

  Myrthil said the investigation has uncovered two trips Jabbar made to New Orleans in October and in November. He said Jabbar's first trip to New Orleans began on Oct. 30, 2024.

  "He was in town for at least two days. During that time, Jabbar, using Meta glasses, recorded a video as he rode through the French Quarter on a bicycle," Myrthil said. "As we continue to learn more about that trip, we ask anyone who may have seen or interacted with him to contact us."

  Myrthil said Jabbar made another trip to New Orleans on Nov. 10.

  "But we are still piecing together details of that trip," Myrthil said.

  Joshua Jackson, the special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives field office in New Orleans, said Jabbar was seen late on the night of Dec. 31, unloading the white rental truck used in the attack at an Airbnb rental on Mandeville Street in the St. Roch neighborhood.

  The FBI, according to Myrthil, believes Jabbar entered Lousiana at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 31.

  Jackson said that before leaving the home at about 12:15 a.m. on Jan. 1, just three hours before the attack, Jabbar allegedly doused gasoline on a linen closest and throughout the residence and set it on fire, apparently hoping to destroy the property and any evidence left inside.

  The fire, however, smothered itself out before reaching other accelerants in the homes, Jackson said. He said the New Orleans Fire Department extinguished the fire preventing extensive damage and allowing investigators to seize explosive materials and other evidence left behind by the suspect, officials said.

  Myrthil said the FBI has reviewed a video showing Jabbar planting two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on the streets of the French Quarter before the attack, concealing the devices in coolers. Myrthil said one of the coolers was "unwittingly" moved from where it was planted on Bourbon and St. Peter streets to another location in the French Quarter about a block away by an individual who had nothing to do with the rampage.

  Jackson said the preliminary field tests indicated the IEDs contained what he described as "R-Salt explosives," saying the material is similar to RDX explosives and easily obtained in the United States.

  Jackson said investigators do not believe Jabbar obtained the R-Salt explosives from overseas, which some media outlets have reported.

  The IEDs left in the two coolers failed to go off either because Jabbar was shot to death by New Orleans police officers during a gun battle that ensued after the truck ramming, or because he used the wrong mechanism to detonate the explosives, Jackson said. He said it appeared Jabbar had intended to detonate the devices with an electronic match or a hobby switch, which are both readily available in the U.S., as opposed to a more professional detonation device, which is harder to obtain.

  "He didn't use the right or correct device to set it off, and that is just indicative of his inexperience and lack of understanding how that material might be set off," Jackson said.

  Jackson said investigators believe Jabbar built the IEDs at his home in Houston, where a search turned up bomb-making materials, including RDX explosive material.

  He said FBI laboratory technicians are comparing the explosive material found in Jabbar's Houston residence to what was found in the IEDs.

  "The FBI lab will conduct additional tests on the material, which we believe will turn out to be commonly found explosives right here in the United States," Jackson said.

  Myrthil said investigators are still probing Jabbar's recent travel as they attempt to determine how he became radicalized. In videos Jabbar recorded while driving to New Orleans from Texas, he is heard allegedly "proclaiming his support for ISIS" and mentioning he joined the terrorist group before this summer, according to the FBI.

  But Christopher Raia, FBI deputy assistant director from the agency's counterterrorism division, said Sunday that investigators, so far, have uncovered no evidence Jabbar received help in the attack from ISIS or any other individuals in the U.S. or elsewhere.

  "We have not seen any indications of an accomplice in the U.S., but we are still looking into potential associates in the U.S. and outside our borders," Raia said.

  He said the FBI continues to investigate who Jabbar met and associated with during a trip he took to Cairo in June 2023. Raia said that after returning to the U.S. from Egypt, Jabbar flew to Ontario, Canada, for a separate trip on July 10, 2023, and returned to the U.S. on July 13, 2023.

  In the United States, Raia said the investigation has also taken the FBI to Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Florida, and Houston.

  Jackson said Jabbar used a 9mm semiautomatic pistol and a .308-caliber semiautomatic rifle with a "privately made silencer" in the attack. He said another privately made silencer was found at the Mandeville Street house the suspect rented.

  Jackson said Jabbar was spotted in several gun stores in the Houston area on Dec. 31 before he left for New Orleans.

  Jackson did not disclose where Jabbar obtained the handgun, but said the rifle was purchased through a "private sale" with an individual in Arlington, Texas, on Nov. 19, 2024.

  "This individual, based on our investigation, does not know Jabbar. This was by chance encounter," Jackson said, adding that such private gun sales are legal in Texas. "There's no way this individual knew that Jabbar was radicalized or had any sort of awareness that this attack was imminent."
