 in two homemade bombs that did not detonate, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News.

, the officials said. A key question for investigators now is how Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the attacker, learned about the explosive and how he managed to produce it.

Neither of the homemade devices exploded and it remains unclear whether the failure was due to a malfunction, lack of activation or another issue. Jabbar planned to use a transmitter to

 for testing.

The carnage unfolded when Jabbar, 42, drove onto a sidewalk with a pickup truck, bypassing a police vehicle that had been parked to block cars from pedestrians celebrating on the crowded street.

Police killed Jabbar, a Texas-born U.S. citizen and an Army veteran, moments after the attack.

Jabbar had also set fire to a short-term rental house on Mandeville Street in New Orleans, where bomb-making materials were found, Friday’s joint statement added, “in his effort to destroy it and other evidence of his crime.”

The New Orleans Fire Department responded to the fire at around 5:18 a.m., after Jabbar had carried out the attack

, but the fire had “extinguished itself” before spreading to other rooms, allowing for the “recovery of evidence, including pre-cursors for bomb making material and a privately made device suspected of being a silencer for a rifle,” the statement said.

The agencies said in the statement that it was determined that Jabbar was the only person who could have set the fire.

The FBI has stated that the investigation remains ongoing and it has not changed its posture that Jabbar acted alone.
