New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar planned to detonate homemade bombs filled with nails, ‘rare’ explosive compound, new pictures show

Other photos show glass jars filled with flammable liquid that officials found in the rental truck also meant to inflict maximum damage, ABC News reported.

The bombs were meant to cause even more carnage after Jabbar plowed his truck into revelers, killing 14 people and wounding dozens more — but fortunately the explosives failed to detonate before New Orleans police shot Jabbar dead.

Law enforcement is still investigating how Jabbar was able to manufacture the explosives in his Texas home, where he kept a bomb-making workbench.

“We believe that the transmitter would have functioned, and would have worked, but for New Orleans PD putting him down before he could get access to that transmitter and set off the devices,” Joshua Jackson, Special Agent in Charge for the New Orleans Field Division, told reporters on Sunday.

New images have been released of the homemade bombs — containing nails and a “very rare explosive compound” — New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar planted along Bourbon Street ahead of his New Year’s Day massacre.

The Post’s exclusive photos of Jabbar’s workshop revealed a stash of chemical bottles and a long list of compounds used in bomb-making that were seized by the FBI.
