The two cases are being investigated as a terrorist attack and the authorities have not ruled out that there may be any link between the facts. In New Orleans, a truck caused a massive run, resulting in 15 deaths and 35 injuries. Hours later, in Las Vegas, there was an explosion of a car in front of the Trump International Hotel, in which one death and seven injuries were recorded in various ways.
The New Orleans attack took place during the New Year’s Eve, at the crossroads of Canal and Bourbon streets. Shamsud Din Jabbar rented a Ford brand pickup truck and launched at high speed over the crowd. He then got off the vehicle and started shooting, as reported by the Basque Department of Security. The aggressor was shot by the police, who arrested the aggressor.
In the vehicle of the aggressor, the symbol of the Islamic flag of the State was found, as were numerous improvised weapons and explosives, among other objects. The FBI has indicated that the attack is being investigated as a "terrorist attack" and attempts are being made to clarify the possible links of Jabbar and its possible affiliations. Jabbar had been in the army a few years earlier, although lately he had no connection with the army.
In Las Vegas, on January 1, at 08:40 in the morning, a tourism exploded in front of the Trump International Hotel. After the explosion, one deceased was found inside the vehicle, while seven others were injured in various ways. At the back of the car was fuel, large fireworks and an explosive device on the back.
The attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas have imposed special security measures throughout the country. JOE Biden has asked security forces and intelligence services to investigate these cases as a matter of priority. Possible connections between the two cases are also being studied.
