Two Terror Attacks -- January 4, 2024

CBS News

Early in the morning of January 1st, a man drove a truck into the crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. He killed at least 14 and got out of the truck with a rifle, wounding two police officers before the police killed him. We later learned that he had set some bombs along the street. At first Republicans blamed President Biden's "open border policies," but we soon learned that the attacker was a born and bred Texan. Organizers delayed the Cotton Bowl until the next day. The police thought he had accomplices, but later said they believe he was working alone. He said he was inspired by ISIS.

Later in the day, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in the driveway of the T***p Hotel in Las Vegas. At first, no was sure whether this was terrorism, or just the way that Teslas catch fire and explode. It turned out to be terrorism. The coincidence made people assume that it was coordinated with the attack in New Orleans, but there has been no evidence discovered as I write this. I have seen people suggest that we may see car rammings and car bombs as acts of terror.
