New Orleans suspect and Vegas Cybertruck driver served at same military bases, say police | BBC News

Police in Las Vegas have given more details on the Cybertruck explosion incident at the Trump Hotel.

The Las Vegas police chief said the driver of the Tesla vehicle was likely Matthew Alan Livelsberger - although the body was "burnt beyond recognition", making him difficult to identify.

Earlier, the FBI confirmed there was "no definitive link" with the explosion and the deadly attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day.

The police chief there were several commonalities between the Las Vegas driver and the New Orleans suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar - though there is still no indication yet that they knew each other.

Driver’s License and passport survived????
How ??

I find it ironic that the terrorist had a Desert Eagle pistol.

It's weird how if you spend billions of dollars training people to be psychotic, they end up being psychotic.

[spookcuh]

so the guns are burned beyond commission but not the passport...

[jakesmith]

Guns and body burnt beyond recognition but plastic military ID, Plastic credit cards, Plastic drivers licence and Plastic passport all still readable and intact 😮😮😮😮😮

[zoltaniii]

Exploding a cybertruck in front of a trump hotel… in someone’s trying to make a statement?

[systemSkynet]

They should make body armour out of passport material

[MartinOReilly-mbum]

There's some weird-ass stuff going on.

[cdvqa]

Everything is burnt beyond recognition but the paper ID and passport survived. Sure.

This comment section is a frightening window into the unhinged minds of conspiracy theorists.

Both attacks within hours both rented from same rental company two served in the military and both served at the same base

My biggest concern is how we are going to survive all these financial and political crises, especially the power struggle in the US. The government has really made things difficult for its citizens and we cannot just sit by and suffer the consequences of bad governance🙏...

2 US military vets hired vehicles from the SAME company on the SAME day to do an 1$1$ style act at a time when a MAJOR political event is going to happen/ Justify policy decisions.
One was such a devout 'Muslim" that he had a DUI in 2020...😂
Oh and the 1515 flag was nowhere to be seen during initial mobile phone footage..😮

[heinedenmark]

A surprisingly bad attack(luckily), considering he was in the special forces.

[merg-vhsx]

It doesn't inspire confidence that law enforcement are visibly distressed.

[jameshealwriter]

The shock and alarm of the BBC announcer of this Vs all the kids that died in the bombing of a refugee camp is unfortunately hilarious.... Like she's saying 'watch this, ignore genocide'. BBC needs actors in the role of journalists to fully complete the facade convincingly

[freedomforthebrave]

Oh but this is not a terrorist attack no BBC

[drtgwe]

Whatever the truth is, Trump won’t let it get in the way of a good narrative!

[freedomforthebrave]

Him and the guy that drove in to people are from the same military base hmmmm

[Cats_got_memes]

People actually buy the Cybertruck!??!?
