Two devastating vehicle attacks shook America on January 1st, leaving 15 dead and 7 injured. Key revelations suggest possible links between the perpetrators:
Former soldier Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, plowed a rented Ford F-150 Lightning EV into New Orleans’ iconic Bourbon Street, killing 15 before police fatally shot him. Hours later, Matthew Livelsberger, 37, detonated a Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump Hotel Las Vegas, injuring seven.
Key connections emerge:
- Both attackers used Turo app to rent electric vehicles
- Both served at same military base, sources reveal
- Jabbar: 10-year veteran, Afghanistan tour, ISIS flag found
- Livelsberger: Special forces background, Colorado ties
Trump Slams “Weak Leadership” President-elect Trump blasted current administration on Truth Social: “Our country is a disaster, a laughingstock worldwide.” He criticized DOJ and FBI for “incompetence” while “illegally attacking ME.”
Biden Downplays Links President Biden, 82, maintains “no evidence of any possible connection” between attacks. FBI calls Vegas incident “isolated.”
Investigation Ongoing Las Vegas Sheriff’s office probing “coincidence” of shared rental app use. Turo denies security oversights. Multiple locations searched in Colorado Springs.
