The brother of the terrorist suspect responsible for the recent New Year’s Eve tragedy in New Orleans has broken his silence.

The incident left 15 people dead and more than 35 injured after the suspect plowed down a giant crowd of citizens wishing to celebrate the new year’s.

His brother says that radicalization is to blame for his brother’s behavior after shocking new reports spoke about new evidence suggesting how he wished to kill his family first before anyone else.

Abdur Jabbar who hails from Texas spoke to the New York Times about his troubled sibling Shamsud-Din Jabbar who converted to Islam at a young age.

He is said to have been inspired by the likes of ISIS but his brother repeated how the terrorist’s actions in no way represent his Islamic religion. He was misguided and ended up following a strange radicalization that led him to do this.

The former army vet was killed by the cops after he mowed down 14 people and injured dozens more. He also carried explosives inside his truck that failed to detonate on that night, which saved so many at risk.

The twice-divorced terrorist had two daughters and was described by his former partners as a very abusive man. He also has two daughters who are 15 and 20 in age.
