Biden Condemns Despicable Car Attack in New Orleans
US President Joe Biden addressed the press at the White House to provide updates on the recent attack in New Orleans. Describing the incident as “despicable,” Biden expressed his sympathy for the families of the victims and commended the law enforcement officers who responded to the attack.
The attacker, who was neutralized at the scene, was reported to have shared videos on social media indicating inspiration from DAESH prior to the attack. A DAESH flag was also found in the attacker’s vehicle, according to information provided by the FBI. Biden emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and urged against jumping to conclusions.
In addition to the attack in New Orleans, Biden mentioned the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International hotel in Las Vegas. He stated that authorities are closely monitoring the situation to determine if there is any connection between the two incidents. As of now, no conclusive reports have been released regarding the link between the events.
The attack in New Orleans resulted in the tragic deaths of 15 individuals and left 35 others injured. Similarly, the explosion in Las Vegas led to the death of one person and injuries to seven individuals. Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla, suggested on social media that there could be a connection between the events, noting that both vehicles were rented from the same location.
As investigations continue into both incidents, the public is urged to await official updates and avoid speculation. The authorities are working diligently to uncover the details surrounding these tragic events and ensure justice for the victims.
