Authorities have revealed that explosive devices linked to the recent New Orleans attack were reportedly manufactured at an Airbnb property that was rented out specifically for that nefarious purpose. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill disclosed this information on Wednesday, shedding light on the disturbing details surrounding the incident.

According to Murrill, a house fire that occurred on Wednesday morning is believed to be connected to the event where the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were being assembled. While she did not provide specific details on how they were able to establish the connection between the Airbnb rental and the attack, the revelation has raised concerns about the potential misuse of short-term rental properties for criminal activities.
