Jethro Gibbs, the imaginary special agent in the long-running TV series “NCIS”, life by a set of unwritten guidelines. Rule# 1 is” Not let suspects remain up”. Rule# 6 is” Not say you’re sorry. It’s a sign of weakness”.

Rule# 39 is one to keep in mind as regulators investigate the two evil attacks on Wednesday:” There is no such thing as a accident”.
Las Vegas and New Orleans are 1, 700 yards off, but each area saw a brutal terror attack. The FBI believes that the two offenders served in the U.S. defense as one of the common threads.
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old U. S. Army veteran, was found deceased inside an explosives-filled Tesla Cybertruck that blew up outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas resort.
Denver-based place KMGH reports that Livelsberger served at the same Military center as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in a New Orleans harm. The vehicle blast research has now moved to Colorado Springs, where Livelsberger resided. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ( ATF ) has joined the FBI in Colorado to investigate where the suspect obtained the explosives.
According to ABC News, the FBI investigation has expanded to three additional states, resulting in the research then enlarging itself to criminal action in at least four states and abroad.  ,
A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation revealed to ABC News early on Thursday that Matthew Livelsberger rented the truck using the Turo game. On Wednesday night, registration plate readers who were monitoring the car were driving it from Colorado to Las Vegas.
According to the law enforcement official, detectives are also examining forensic evidence to ascertain the identity of the driver of the truck at the time of the incident in Vegas. The official claimed that the driver’s bodily injuries caused the fire and explosion and made the identification procedure difficult.

Deputy Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told investigators that Elon Musk, user of Tesla, Inc., had been very useful in the research. After the blast, he had the vehicle unlocked and had videos from charging channels that had located the suspect in Colorado and Las Vegas.
The FBI is also investigating “people of interest” throughout the state. It appears that this was a significant crime with a number of moving components. We have no idea what led to the assault, so we can’t say for sure. While Jabbar was “inspired” by ISIS, Matthew Livelsberger was an army senior with no known links to Islamist extremism. The lodge being targeted by Trump suggests a different social motivation.
The same Turo car and truck rental organization, which allows private aircraft owners to rent vehicles directly to consumers, provided the New Orleans F-150 and Tesla computer vehicle. The New Orleans vehicle was owned by a man in Houston who bought it in 2024, according to Kinney County, Texas, Sheriff Brad Coe.
According to Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, the IEDs were built at a New Orleans Airbnb. Two people were discovered close to the terrorist assault in the French Quarter, while one was discovered in the F-150. A remote control explosive in the vehicle may have detonated the IEDs, but Jabbar did not do so.

Lone dog terrorists have a fairly easy way of avoiding diagnosis. But a crime involving citizens to lease cars, drive them to New Orleans, build IEDs, drive a vehicle into a group of New Year’s Eve revelers, and set off a trailer weapon at a Trump resort in Las Vegas should have shown up on one’s radar at some point.  ,
They have no problem discovering right-wing plots to steal rulers or stage a picture at school board meetings. However, they missed another significant one that was glaring directly in their direction.
