Two homemade bombs found and made ‘safe’ in New Orleans: FBI

NEW ORLEANS: Investigators in New Orleans on Wednesday found two homemade bombs in the wake of a deadly truck attack in the city’s French Quarter, and those devices have been “rendered safe,” a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) official said.

“As of now, two IEDs have been found and rendered safe,” FBI special agent Alethea Duncan told a press conference, using an acronym for improvised explosive devices.

The US investigators also believe that the suspect in the New Orleans truck attack that killed at least 10 people may not have acted alone, the FBI revealed.

“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible,” said FBI special agent Alethea Duncan, referring to suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old who authorities said carried out the attack.
