Vegas terror suspect a US Army soldier

Investigators are probing whether the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas that killed its driver and injured at least seven others was linked to another attack in New Orleans, in which a suspect drove a rented pickup truck into a crowd of pedestrians.

The Cybertruck, driven by a man identified as Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army Special Operations Soldier, was filed with gas canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars, police say, and detonated on Wednesday morning, hours after the mass killing in New Orleans that claimed 15 lives.
