Feds Probe Possible Military Link Between Suspects In Bourbon Street Massacre & Trump Hotel Cybertruck Blast<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Welcome to the second day of 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n

Federal authorities and investigative teams are probing a potential military connection between a US Army veteran who displayed an Islamic State (IS) flag and was described as “hellbent<\/a>” on causing maximum damage by steering a Ford F-150 Lightning (EV) into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens,\u00a0and another US Army veteran who drove an explosives-filled Tesla Cybertruck<\/a> that detonated almost like a VBIED outside Trump’s Las Vegas hotel just hours after the Bourbon Street massacre.<\/p>\n

Two law enforcement sources familiar with the New Orleans truck-terror-ramming attack and the Las Vegas incident told NBC News<\/a> that federal investigative teams are probing a potential military connection between the two individuals involved in both attacks.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

New Orleans terror suspect\u00a0Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, who died in a\u00a0subsequent close-range firefight with police after the ramming attack, was a US national and Texas resident. He worked in the US Army’s\u00a0human resources and information technology departments between 2006 and 2020, including a\u00a0deployment to Afghanistan in 2009.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What do you make of the fact that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, was an American citizen born in Texas, who served in the U.S. Army for many years and posted a message on social media that he was inspired by ISIS? pic.twitter.com\/IuwIKCIE92<\/a><\/p>\n

The suspect in the Cybertruck explosion at Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as “Matthew Livelsberger,” according to Newsweek.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NEW: The Army Veteran who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger.<\/p>\n

Denver-based station ABC7<\/a> reported that Livelsberger once served at the same base as Shamsud-Din Jabbar. However, no evidence yet confirms whether they had direct links of any sort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, both vehicles used in\u00a0New Orleans and Las Vegas were rented from\u00a0San Francisco-based Turo.<\/p>\n

Turo wrote in a statement, “We do not believe that either renter had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat, and we are not currently aware of any information that indicates the two incidents are related.”<\/p>\n

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill told NBC earlier that investigators believe multiple people were involved in the Bourbon Street massacre<\/a>. She said authorities believe explosive devices were made in an Airbnb rental in the New Orleans metro area.<\/p>\n

“We know that these individuals had rented the house were using it for that purpose,” Murrill said.<\/p>\n

Murrill also said she wanted to postpone the\u00a0Sugar Bowl at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for another day. The\u00a0football game is\u00a0currently scheduled for tonight after it was\u00a0postponed following the attack.<\/p>\n

Murrill noted that “the community is safe” because of the increased\u00a0law enforcement presence in the city. However, the delay of the\u00a0Sugar Bowl may only suggest that\u00a0something larger is unfolding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here we go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a recent discussion on the Shawn Ryan Show, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack<\/a> planned by Al-Qaeda terrorists on American soil.<\/p>\n

Finally, with just a few days left until Trump is inaugurated, we can’t help but wonder at the timing of this sudden chaos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
