Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the New Orleans attacker inspired by ISIS, had a section of his house dedicated to creating bombs in his Texas trailer home. When authorities entered his precarious home, the man had left a Quran open on a page that spoke of “killing” in the name of Allah, as shown in exclusive photos obtained by The Post.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar: bombs and the Quran
NY Post details on its website that the house "Jabbar was full of chemical residues and bottles of chemicals," while an inventory of items confiscated by the FBI (left by the investigators who raided his house on Wednesday) included a long list of compounds used in bomb-making.
It is also described that the main piece in his living room was the Quran on a shelf with a passage that reads: ""They fight in the cause of Allah, they kill and are killed; a binding promise...", corresponding to verse 9:111."
The NY Post explains that the meaning of that passage is "the responsibility of Muslims to kill the enemies of Allah and to be willing to die for that mission in exchange for eternity in paradise."
Around the precarious mobile home, numerous books about Islam were observed, and on one side, the prayer rug was rolled up.
Jabbar's videos on Facebook
FBI officials reported that Jabbar posted five chilling videos on his Facebook account while traveling from Houston to New Orleans, just hours before crashing his van into Bourbon Street.
Around 15 people lost their lives and 30 are hospitalized.
In the first video clip, the US army veteran said he had initially considered killing his family and friends, but changed his mind. In another video, he explained that he had joined ISIS "before this summer."
