Missouri man’s explosives tutorial helped New Orleans terrorist plan NYE attack, feds say

A Missouri man accused of turning social media into a virtual bomb-making classroom is now facing federal charges after investigators say his online tutorials were used by the terrorist behind the deadly New Year’s Day rampage on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Jordan Derrick, 40, of Sweet Springs, Missouri, was arrested by the FBI Tuesday after prosecutors accused him of posting detailed online videos showing followers exactly how to manufacture explosives, detonators and improvised explosive devices using volatile chemical compounds.
