On the occasion of New Year in America, people were shocked by two consecutive terrorist attacks one after the other. During the New Year celebrations, a terrorist ran a truck over people in New Orleans, killing 14 people. Dozens of people were also injured. Here, after the attack in New Orleans, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in Las Vegas.

There is a suspicion of a terrorist attack behind this blast. At the same time, American investigative agencies are also investigating from this angle whether there is any connection between these two incidents. American media reports also indicate that possibly both the incidents could have been planned together.

Former US soldier is accused

In fact, reports have quoted sources from investigative agencies as saying that the accused in both the New Orleans and Los Vegas incidents are former US soldiers and both have also worked at the same army base. In such a situation, the possibility of both knowing each other and planning the attack together is not being ruled out.

Las Vegas explosions

A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas during the New Year celebrations in the US. The driver of the car has been identified as former US soldier Matthew Livelsberger. According to reports, Livelsberger spent 18 years of his 19-year army career in the Special Forces. He joined the army in January 2006. 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger is said to be related to New Orleans attacker Shamsud Din Jabbar. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether the two attacks are connected or not.

Who is Shamsuddin Jabbar?

The man accused of driving a truck into people on New Year's Day in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar. According to Reuters, he was a resident of Texas and a former soldier. He was struggling to recover from a recent divorce. However, the agency quoted his stepbrother as saying that he had not shown any anger until a few weeks before the attack.

Federal authorities and local law enforcement officials in New Orleans say Jabbar had an Islamic State flag on his truck and posted several videos on social media pledging his allegiance to the deadly terrorist group shortly before he drove into the Bourbon Street crowd Wednesday morning.

Agencies are looking for links

Now the investigating agencies are looking for a link between the terror attack in New Orleans and the explosion of the Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas. The vehicle used in both the cases was rented from the same rental site. This is why the agencies suspect that both the incidents may be connected to each other.
