No 'definitive link' between New Orleans attack and Las Vegas explosion

Authorities said Thursday they have found "no definitive link" between the New Orleans attack on New Year's Day and the explosion in a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.

The potential link was just one thread being pulled by officials who were also searching a site in Texas on Thursday, a day after a man drove a pick-up truck flying an ISIS flag into New Orleans’ busy Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing 14 people and injuring at least 30 others.

Hours after the New Orleans attack, the Las Vegas explosion triggered heightened security around Trump towers in New York and Chicago. President Joe Biden said Wednesday that “law enforcement and the intelligence community” were investigating “whether there’s any possible connection” between the incidents.
