Inside New Orleans Airbnb where Shamsud Din-Jabbar built his bombs and lit bedroom on fire before deadly truck attack

ISIS-inspired terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar turned his luxury Airbnb in New Orleans into a bomb factory before lighting up one of the bedrooms, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The US Army veteran, 42, left the two-bedroom, two-bathroom property on Mandeville Street covered in white powder and threads, exclusive photos show.

It comes after federal bomb squads and investigators dressed in hazmat suits entered the quiet street and cordoned off the rental property, urging residents to stay away.

After two days of investigation, investigators returned the property to the owner, who declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com, explaining that the FBI had asked him not to talk.

Exclusive photos from DailyMail.com show the property in complete disarray, with the front and parts of the interior showing scorch marks and empty buckets.

Investigators suspect the terrorist used the property to build his IEDs, which he loaded into the back of his EV truck on New Year’s Eve.

A cooler was recovered by officers on Bourbon Street, with authorities confirming that Jabbar intended to detonate the device remotely.

The terrorist appeared to be using one of the two bedrooms as a bomb-making station, with the bed covered in an unknown white powder, black wires and plastic.

It is believed he set fire to the property before leaving, with local authorities rushing to the scene in the early hours before calling the FBI.

One of the building’s windows was smashed, providing a glimpse into a scorched room covered in black soot and ash.

Where the fire started turned out to be a bedroom at the front of the Airbnb, with the hallway full of burnt buckets.

A queen-size bed with no pillows was set up, littered with a white powdery substance, scissors, paper and a plastic Kroger shopping bag.

Other items, including a blue tube, work gloves, several pairs of latex gloves and bags of trash, were also found scattered throughout the property.

A garbage bag containing discarded work gloves and a takeaway box suggested Jabbar had eaten a pizza before carrying out the deadly massacre.

Strong cleaning agents were left outside the property, along with blue gloves, with one window also appearing to have been smashed.

The hallways were covered in soot and white powder also covered the floor.

Police believe Jabbar, a U.S. citizen born and raised in Texas, drove an electric vehicle from Houston to Louisiana to carry out the deadly attack that killed 15 people and injured at least 35.

Investigators are looking into the theory that he rented a nearby property on Airbnb in New Orleans’ St. Roch neighborhood for his base before carrying out the attack.

Earlier this week, exclusive photos from DailyMail.com show the moment the FBI removed bomb-making materials from the two-bedroom, two-bathroom property near the French Quarter.

A total containment vessel was removed from the building around 8 p.m. on New Year’s Day, hours after authorities evacuated residents from the area.

The area is mainly rented out to tourists who travel to the area for the holiday period and now have no place to stay.

Authorities told one couple they “shouldn’t count on” regaining access to the property, closing a three-block radius.

The FBI was joined by special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Homeland Security.

A spokeswoman for the ATF confirmed they were involved in assisting the investigation, but could not comment further when contacted by DailyMail.com.

Officials were called to the property after firefighters extinguished a blaze at the rental property in the early hours, with sources claiming ‘bomb making materials’ had been found.

State Attorney General Liz Murrill told NBC News, “We know that these individuals had rented the home and were using it for that purpose.”

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom property was renovated by property developer Oliver Doxater of Wysteria Properties.

Jabbar lived in a dilapidated trailer in suburban Houston before traveling to New Orleans to carry out the deadly rampage.

On Thursday, photos from DailyMail.com provided a glimpse into the shabby shelter, showing Jabbar leaving the house in disarray, leaving dozens of religious items behind.

Next to the cheap furniture he left in the caravan were a Koran, prayer mats and a book on Islamic banking and finance.

That book, The Art of RF (Riba-Free) Islamic Banking and Finance, claims to take “a modern American approach to integrating Islamic financial principles into banking and investment techniques.”

Riba – charging interest on loans – is prohibited in Islamic finance as it is considered an unjust profit.

When DailyMail.com visited the house on the eastern edge of the Heritage Village section of the city early Thursday, the front door was closed. But when we returned later that day, it had been kicked off its hinges for the world to see inside.

Jabbar was shot dead in a shootout with police shortly after plowing his vehicle into a crowd of revelers.

He was an open admirer of the Islamic terror group ISIS and had the group’s flag flying from his vehicle.

And his home in a largely Muslim neighborhood in north Houston shows his devotion to Islam. A copy of the Koran lay open on an easel next to a vase of artificial flowers.

Other books in the house included a seven-volume set known as the Islamic Library, including a book entitled ‘The Sealed Nectar’ – a comprehensive biography of the Prophet Muhammad and several pamphlets on comparative religions.

Although the house was messy, it was clean.

The house gives the impression that Jabbar left in a hurry. A suitcase and two prayer mats, along with a black belt, were thrown over a blue couch in the living room.

Incongruously among the religious objects in his living room, a dartboard hung on the wall next to a fake fireplace.

At the front door, Jabbar left a mobile credit card machine, duct tape, bubble wrap and several pairs of shoes.

In the kitchen, there were pantry items on the counter, next to a white fire extinguisher. A military green backpack sat on the floor under the kitchen counter, next to a black trash can.

Near the kitchen, Jabbar had a desk with some papers and other items on it. There is a room where his computer hard drive had been seized by police hours earlier.

According to a neighbor, Jabbar left his home just hours before New Year’s Day, saying he was moving to New Orleans for a better job.

Muntaz Bashir told the New York Post that Jabbar had left just hours before the 3:15 am attack.

Bashir said the neighbor looked normal when he spoke to him. ‘Unfortunately you can’t read someone’s mind. I was shocked.’
