New images show the crude homemade explosives New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar left on the street before killing 14 in the horrifying rampage on New Year’s Day.
Pictures shared by the FBI show improvised weapons they say Jabbar tried and failed to detonate on Bourbon Street before plowing a rented truck into the crowd.
Jabbar, 42, was seen on CCTV placing a pair of coolers at the scene shortly before the attack.
Authorities say the coolers contained steel pipes surrounded by nails and a radio-controlled receiver, visible in images circulated by the Bureau.
They also claimed to have found jars of flammable liquid in the rented Ford F-150 he drove into the crowds.
Fourteen people were killed in the attack, along with Jabbar, who was fatally shot in a firefight with police after the rampage. At least 35 people were injured.
Jabbar, a US Army veteran, posted on Facebook in the hours before the attack proclaiming his support for ISIS.

Images shared by the FBI showed large white coolers that Jabbar placed on the street just before the attack.
He appeared to be on his cellphone while moving the coolers around, then turned to surveillance cameras and waved.
The coolers contained rings of dozens of nails and a receiver with a long antenna.
The bombs were later both rendered safe at the scene.
Other images showed kitchen jars of flammable liquid stored in the car used in the attack.
Investigators said previously that the bombs did not go off as Jabbar, a trained soldier, did not have a detonator with him.
It was reported previously he did have a transmitter in his truck.
Bomb-making materials were also found at an Airbnb he was staying at, and at his home in Texas.
His Houston home contained a workbench in the garage and hazardous materials believed to have been used to make explosive devices, officials familiar with a search conducted there said.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar (pictured) had joined the army in 2007, serving on active duty in human resources and information technology and deploying to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2010. He transferred to the army reserve in 2015 and left in 2020 with the rank of staff sergeant

Jabbar also tried to burn down the rented New Orleans home by setting a small fire in a hallway with accelerants but the flames burned out before firefighters arrived.
He is understood to have rented out the electric pickup truck some six weeks before the attack.
Jabbar also made two trips to New Orleans prior to the heinous attack, one in October and a month later in November.
The FBI has labeled the deadly New Year’s Day attack, carried out solely by the Texas native, as an act of terrorism.
Surveillance footage shared previously showed the suspect stopping at gun stores and shop where he purchased one of the ice chests used to hold the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) he planted.
Jabbar purchased a cooler in Vidor, Texas, hours before the attack and gun oil from a store in Sulphur, Louisiana, investigators said.
He left the crashed truck wearing a ballistic vest and helmet and fired at police, wounding at least two officers before he was fatally shot by police.

New Orleans police have declined to say how many shots were fired by Jabbar and the officers or whether any bystanders may have been hit, citing the active investigation.
The coroner’s office said all the victims died from blunt force injuries while Jabbar, was fatally shot in a firefight with police.
The youngest victim was 18 years old and the oldest 63. Most victims were in their 20s.
They came from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, New Jersey and the United Kingdom.
