Cybertruck Filled with Fuel and Fireworks Explodes at Trump’s Las Vegas Hotel”
A shocking explosion occurred at Trump’s Las Vegas hotel when a Cybertruck filled with fuel and fireworks detonated, sparking concerns over safety and security.
U.S. authorities suspect that several individuals participated in a New Orleans attack on New Year’s Day, which resulted in 15 deaths and left dozens injured.
The driver of a pickup truck that plowed into large crowds in the city’s French Quarter has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran from Texas. He was killed during a shootout with police.
President Joe Biden stated that the attacker was motivated by the Islamic State group, and according to the FBI, an IS flag was discovered in the truck.
The identities of the victims are still being determined, but they include a former Princeton University football standout and an aspiring nurse.
Law enforcement officials are investigating the possibility of a connection between the attack and an explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas that occurred hours later. However, President Biden has stated that no link between the two incidents has been established at this time.
The FBI announced in a statement yesterday that an Islamic State (IS) group flag had been discovered inside the truck used to drive into a large crowd in New Orleans.
Authorities are currently investigating a potential connection between 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in the attack, and the IS group.
About a decade ago, the group quickly ascended by seizing large areas in Syria and Iraq. Today, it has members across several continents; however, its main leadership based in Syria is diminishing.
Most attacks conducted under the group’s name occur in sub-Saharan Africa, while a branch known as IS-Khorasan Province (ISKP) operates in the Middle East and Europe.
At the height of its influence, IS orchestrated large-scale attacks in Europe, such as the 2015 assault on Paris’s Bataclan concert hall that resulted in 130 fatalities.
The group leverages social media to provoke violence, having recently urged retaliation in response to Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Very little information is available about the group’s current leaders.
Today, we have been reporting that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an Army veteran and U.S. citizen from Texas, has been identified by the FBI as the suspect in Wednesday’s attack in New Orleans.
According to a LinkedIn profile that has since been removed, the 42-year-old had served in various positions within the US Army, including roles in human resources and IT, before his discharge.
He served in Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010.
He attended Georgia State University from 2015 to 2017 and graduated with a degree in computer information systems.
Jabbar experienced two marriages; his first marriage concluded in 2012, while the second spanned from 2017 to 2022.
He seems to have worked in real estate, though his license lapsed in 2021. Additionally, he had a criminal record connected to traffic violations and theft.
A flag linked to the Islamic State (IS) group was discovered in his vehicle, and the FBI announced that it is investigating any potential connections Jabbar might have had with terrorist organizations.
