02.01.2025 ⇢ The Day Orleans Truck Led To Vegas Blast
⌨
The FBI investigation into the New Orleans attack dominated coverage, with the death toll reaching 15. Morning reports connected the attacker, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, to the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion through a military base connection. The Cybertruck bomber was identified as Matthew Livelsberger, a fellow Army veteran.
By afternoon, the FBI reversed course, declaring Jabbar acted alone and downplaying connections to the Vegas incident. Details emerged about Jabbar's $125,000 Deloitte salary and conversion to ISIS ideology. The shift in narrative marked a departure from earlier speculation about coordinated attacks.
Weather conditions deteriorated across Britain, with flooding and snow warnings prompting NHS advisories. Late evening brought news of Sara Sharif's father being attacked in Belmarsh prison, while Bourbon Street reopened under heightened security.
