Yahoo News<\/a>: Politico journalist Jacqueline Sweet shared \u201cghost remnants\u201d to X from Jabbar\u2019s LinkedIn profile before it was deleted. His current job was listed as \u201cInformation Technology Team Chief at U.S. Army Reserve,\u201d with past jobs including \u201cData Entry Clerk at United States Postal Service.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the New Orleans terror suspect who died in a shootout with police after allegedly killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more in a vehicular New Year\u2019s attack, had had previous run-ins with police.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the FBI issued a statement confirming that 42-year-0ld was a U.S. citizen, that the truck was a rental, that an ISIS flag was on the vehicle and that IEDs and weapons were in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Newsweek<\/a>\u00a0reported that the Houston, Texas, resident, a former U.S. Army reservist, was charged with misdemeanor theft in 2002 and driving with a suspended license in 2005. The outlet also reported that one of his two wives obtained a temporary restraining order against him, but no date is mentioned.<\/p>\n

Little is known about Jabbar\u2019s politics, except that he was registered as a Democrat in 2012, when he lived in North Carolina. His Texas voter registration has no party affiliation, according to Newsweek.<\/p>\n

FBI special agent Alethea Duncan<\/a>\u00a0said on Wednesday that investigators \u201cdo not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible\u201d for the attack. \u201cWe are aggressively running down every lead, including those of his known associates,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

According to CBS News, the FBI is examining surveillance video to see if Jabbar had accomplices who helped him place IEDs on the scene.\u00a0The Associated Press<\/a>\u00a0reported that footage showed three men and a woman placing the explosives.<\/p>\n

Jabbar was declared dead after exchanging gunfire with the New Orleans Police Department, according to an official\u00a0statement<\/a>. Two officers were hit by gunfire but were listed as being in stable condition. Read more at Yahoo News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
