New Year's Day Attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas Raise Concerns Over Homegrown Extremism

Authorities investigate the motives and potential connections between two deadly incidents involving military veterans, while ruling out definitive links so far.

• Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a former U.S. Army staff sergeant, killed 15 people in a vehicular attack on New Orleans' Bourbon Street before being shot by police; he had expressed allegiance to ISIS.
• Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty Green Beret, died by suicide before a Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas; law enforcement is treating it as a possible terrorist act.
• Both suspects rented their vehicles through the Turo app and had served at Fort Bragg, though authorities have found no evidence of coordination between the two incidents.
• Livelsberger's struggle with untreated mental health issues, including a traumatic brain injury, and Jabbar's financial troubles and radicalization are under investigation as factors in their actions.
• The FBI and local law enforcement continue to probe the attacks, urging the public to share any relevant information, while counterterrorism experts highlight the broader risk of vehicle-based attacks in public spaces.
