The man accused of the ramming attack that killed 14 revelers on a crowded New Orleans street had earlier v isited the city on apparent reconnaissance missions, once recording the location using camera-equipped glasses, investigators said Sunday.They said he had also traveled to both Egypt and Canada in the two years prior, though it was unclear what he did on those trips.
US Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar first came to the Louisiana city from his Texas home in late October, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a briefing.
On that first visit, according to a video released by the agency, Jabbar slowly rode a bicycle through the iconic French Quarter while filming the scene with his Meta smart glasses. Meta glasses allow users to take photos or videos without using their hands, FBI special agent Lyonel Myrthil said.
