New Orleans attack prompts intense scrutiny, stepped-up security
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) -The investigation into what motivated a U.S. Army veteran carrying an Islamic State flag on his truck to plow into a crowd of New Year's revelers intensified on Thursday as authorities beefed up security ahead the Sugar Bowl football game to be played less a mile from the scene of Wednesday's mayhem. The probe was focused on whether the suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas who once served in Afghanistan, had helped in planning the deadly attack on the city, which will also host the NFL Super Bowl next month. FBI officials said they were also looking for any links between the deadly attack and a separate incident on Wednesday in which a Tesla Cybertruck packed with gasoline canisters and large firework mortars exploded in flames outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House on Jan. 20.
