FBI confirms lone actor in New Orleans terror attack
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that the perpetrator of the terrorist attack in New Orleans acted alone. No connections were found with the explosion of a Tesla near Donald Trump's hotel in Las Vegas.
Christopher Rai from the FBI stated that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the individual responsible for the attack in New Orleans, had no accomplices. The authorities are confident in their findings based on interrogations and analysis of the attacker's phone and computer data. Initial suspicions of possible accomplices proved to be incorrect.
During the investigation, two bombs placed by Jabbar in coolers were discovered. Both devices were safely detonated by officers. Authorities confirmed that Jabbar had posted videos online pledging allegiance to the Islamic State.
Media outlets also released footage from surveillance cameras showing a white vehicle moving at high speed through the narrow streets of New Orleans.
No connections with the explosion in Las Vegas
The investigation into the Tesla explosion in Las Vegas did not reveal any connections to the attack in New Orleans.
According to the Associated Press, the driver of the car in Las Vegas, Senior Sergeant Matthew Alan Livelsberger, had no ideological motives. He was an active-duty special forces soldier on leave in the U.S.
