deadly new year's attack in new orleans. authorities releases images they say were taken by the suspect when he visited new orleans several months ago as well as footage of what they say is the suspect with an ied the night of the attack. they say he visited the city twice before killing 14 people there. trevor alt reports from new orleans tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the fbi unveiling a detailed timeline of the new year's attack in new orleans. >> we have a clearer picture today than we did even two days ago. >> reporter: they say the suspect, a 42-year-old army veteran, shamsud-din jabbar, drove to louisiana from texas, arriving in the city around 10:00 p.m. new year's eve. just after midnight at 12:15, investigators say he set a fire inside a house he rented in the city and headed for the french quarter. at 1:53 a.m., he can be seen placing a cooler which authorities say contained an ied on bourbon street and st. peter. a half hour later, he placed a second cooler on bourbon and toulouse. less than an hour after that, at
5:39 pm
3:15, he raced his rented ford f-150 down bourbon street, killing 14 people and injuring dozens more. >> during these past few years, lone actors or small cells of individuals who typically radicalize to violence online and primarily use easily accessible weapons have posed the greatest terrorism threat to our homeland. >> reporter: and authorities say the casualties could have been much higher. the fire inside the rental home burned out before it could spread to the accelerants he had placed inside, and the detonator jabbar tried to use to set off those ieds inside the coolers failed before he was killed in a shootout with law enforcement. >> he didn't use the correct device to set it off. that is just indicative of his inexperience. >> reporter: investigators revealing jabbar traveled to new orleans twice in the months before the attack, filming this video as he rode around the french quarter on a bicycle. he also traveled to egypt and

there were people of all colors, rural, urban, democrat, and republican alike. teachers and students. with photos of themselves and the carters. >> i'm a cadet at the military academy here at the carter center. to pay my last tributes to my hero. >> reporter: on the way to atlanta, they stopped outside his family's old farm in front of a bell they used to ring every morning when he was a child, telling them it was time to work. on this day, they rang it 39 times. before he died, the former president told his children he wanted the first service to take place at the carter center. with the staff, scientists, and peacemakers who worked with the carters for so long. >> he was an amazing man. and he was held up and propped up and soothed by an amazing woman. and the two of them together changed the world. because it was an amazing thing
5:44 pm
to watch from so close. >> we will spend this week celebrating this incredible life and a life that i think we can all agree is as full and powerful as any life can be. as someone said, it's amazing what you can cram into 100 years. >> reporter: this is very much a celebration for a long and remarkable life well lived. the public visitation here continues until tuesday morning, and then the former president's remains will be moved to washington where there is another public visitation and then the state funeral on thursday, where president biden is expected to deliver the eulogy. then, he will come back home for a private ceremony where he'll be buried alongside his wife. it's a spot near their house that they picked together before she passed. linsey. >> linsey: a man whose work touched so many. steve, thank you. >> overseas now, ukraine appears to being going on the offensive,

5:46 pm
have a peaceful negotiation. we're all for that. but it's got to be on terms that do not throw ukraine under the bus. >> reporter: it's still unclear how significant this offensive is, but it appears that ukraine may be trying to shore up its hold on russian territory in order to use it as a bargaining chip in any talks after president trump's inauguration. linsey. >> linsey: patrick, thank you. here in new york, congestion pricing has gone into effect. the first of its kind in the nation. drivers crossing into midtown below 60th street will be hit with a toll. abc's ike ejiochi reports from manhattan. >> reporter: tonight, new york city's highly debated congestion pricing is now in effect. the first of its kind in the united states. the plan charging drivers $9 to enter what the mta calls the congestion relief zone. the busiest part of manhattan, home to iconic landmarks. >> 1400 cameras, over 110 detection points, separate
