Simon Marks hears from Staff writer at The Atlantic, Graeme Wood, as police investigate a New Year's Day attack in New Orleans and its bombshell link to a Las Vegas incident involving a Tesla Cybertruck that occurred hours later.
US authorities have discovered connections linking the two incidents, according to US media, with investigators focussing on a military link.
At least 15 people died and 35 more were injured in the New Orleans attack, which saw the driver plough into a crowd of revellers near Bourbon Street, in the French Quarter, at around 3.15am local time on New Year's Day.
Police identified 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a US citizen from Texas and a US army veteran, as the prime suspect in the case.
Hours later, a Cybertruck was seen to explode outside Trump's Las Vegas hotel killing the driver and leaving seven others with minor injuries.
