New Orleans truck-ramming suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar also planted two homemade bombs on the streets of the bustling French Quarter, the FBI said Thursday.

“We did obtain surveillance footage showing Jabbar placing the devices where they were found,” FBI deputy assistant Director Christopher Raia said of the bombs hidden in coolers, adding that they were left on Bourbon Street — the road which he later drove down — and another spot nearby.
