Federal investigators have returned to the Houston home of suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar as they continue their investigation into the Bourbon Street terror attack that shook New Orleans.
An FBI spokesperson from the Houston office confirmed that law enforcement activity is ongoing at the location. Additionally, sources revealed that the Harris County Sheriff's Office bomb squad revisited the house to gather further evidence.
Earlier, the FBI and a Houston SWAT team conducted a raid on Jabbar's home, leaving the front door off its hinges and partially open, offering a view of the living room, kitchen, and a glimpse of a bedroom.
Law enforcement officers left the living room in disarray during their search, with a black suitcase on the floor and a dart board and fake fireplace visible on the wall. Jabbar's neighbors described him as a quiet and respectful individual devoted to his Islamic faith. A bookshelf near the front door contained multiple copies of the Quran, books about Islam, and one about Christianity.
Inside the house, an elevated desk with a computer setup, a can of pepper spray, and a green, military-style backpack were found. Jabbar, a Beaumont, Texas native, was residing in a rented mobile home in Houston, located in a neighborhood with other mobile homes and RVs, just a short walk from the Masjid Bilal Mosque and Darul Arqam Islamic school.
