New Orleans Assailant Scouted City in October, November

The U.S. Army veteran who rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers in New Orleans twice visited the city during the months leading up to the terrorist attack and, on one trip, recorded video of the area with Meta smart glasses, law-enforcement officials said Sunday.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, wore the glasses as he rode a bicycle through the city’s tourist-heavy French Quarter in October, officials said. The Meta glasses, which closely resemble regular eyeglasses, were recovered from Jabbar after he was shot dead in a firefight with New Orleans police on Bourbon Street.
