(Canadian Press) Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says the Canada Border Services Agency has confirmed that the man behind the deadly truck attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans travelled to Ontario in July 2023.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it’s investigating the movements of Shamsud-Din Jabbar in the lead-up to the New Year’s truck attack that killed 14 people, revealing Sunday that Jabbar travelled to Ontario for a few days in 2023.
A statement from McGuinty on Sunday says Canada’s border agency confirmed that Jabbar travelled to Canada from Houston, Texas, for four days before returning to the U.S in 2023.
FBI special agent Lyonel Myrthil says the investigation is now “crossing state and international borders,” as law enforcement pieces together Jabbar’s pre-attack movements.
