| 0:00.0 | John, what are you learning? Well, Wolf, what we've been trying to do is develop a richer picture of who is the man behind this carnage in New Orleans. |
| 0:08.6 | What do we know about him? And what can that tell us about motive? And what we've learned from multiple sources is that Mr. Jabbar apparently made, according to authorities, a series of voice recordings on video, as he drove, |
| 0:24.4 | they believe, from Texas to Louisiana to partake in these attacks allegedly. |
| 0:30.2 | The recordings talk about the turmoil in his family, the long-fought-bitter divorce he was going |
