The man who plowed a truck down Bourbon Street in a New Year’s Day terrorist attack visited New Orleans twice before and traveled to Egypt prior to the massacre.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Beaumont, visited New Orleans twice before the attack and recorded video of the French Quarter with hands-free glasses, an FBI official said in a press conference Sunday.
