An FBI official said at a Jan. 2 press conference in Louisiana that the agency has not uncovered any links between a truck explosion outside President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas that injured a half dozen and killed one and a deadly terror attack in New Orleans that left at least 14 people dead.

Christopher Raia, deputy assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division, said at a press conference in New Orleans on Jan. 2 that the agency’s investigation is still at an early stage but that investigators have not found any connection between the two attacks, both of which involved the use of rented pickup trucks as apparent weapons.
