Fort Bragg Veterans Under Investigation in New Year’s Attacks

Two New Year’s Day attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas have sparked investigations into potential connections. Both attackers, U.S. Army veterans, previously served at Fort Bragg, a major military base. Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, displaying an ISIS flag and resulting in numerous casualties. Hours later, Matthew Livelsberger detonated a Cybertruck outside a Las Vegas hotel. While the attacks had different motives, law enforcement is exploring links between the perpetrators, including shared military service and the use of peer-to-peer vehicle rentals.
