The FBI has stated there is 'no definitive link' between two New Year's Day incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas. In New Orleans, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, pledging allegiance to ISIS, drove a rented truck into a crowd, killing 15. Hours later, Matthew Livelsberger triggered an explosion in a Cybertruck near a Trump hotel in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, a Texas congressman, known for his foreign spending priorities, criticized country singer John Rich over a post about law enforcement at the New Orleans attack scene. As the city deals with the aftermath, visitors continue exploring things to do in New Orleans, from swamp tours to classic New Orleans tours.
