A devastating attack in New Orleans and a fatal explosion in Las Vegas have raised concerns about US domestic security just weeks before Donald Trump’s presidency. The New Year’s Eve incident in the French Quarter of New Orleans left at least 15 people dead and dozens injured, causing panic among revelers and postponing major events. In Las Vegas, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside a hotel, further escalating fears.
Law enforcement is investigating whether these incidents are connected, with the FBI suggesting that one suspect may not have acted alone. Authorities are probing potential links to international terrorism, including ISIS, which was reportedly seen waving an ISIS flag near the scene of the New Orleans attack. The cyberattack on the Cybertruck has also sparked questions about security measures and protocols in place to protect against such incidents.
