Trump Vegas Bomb Suspect: Bomber shot himself before bomb exploded, police say

The driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that blew up outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Day has been identified as active-duty U.S. Army soldier Matthew Leibsberger, The Associated Press is reporting, citing law enforcement officials. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. Livelsberger, 37, has several addresses associated with him and was on leave from Germany, where he was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group. On Wednesday, he reportedly pulled up the truck up outside the hotel at around 8:40 a.m. local time, and it exploded about 15 to 20 seconds later. The explosion killed Liversberger and injured seven others. Authorities say the truck contained gasoline and camping fuel containers, as well as large fireworks mortars. Video of the incident captures the truck exploding in a ball of fire, and fireworks can also be seen going off in all directions. A bystander can also be seen just feet from the truck as it goes up in flames. An Army spokesperson told Fox News that Livelsberger began active duty in the Army in January 2006 and reached the rank of master sergeant. Livelsberger spent time at the base formerly known as Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina that is home to the Army Special Forces Command. As for all the guests at the hotel were taken to another hotel as the investigation into the explosion continues. Like McMahill, Jeremy Schwartz, the FBI's acting special agent in charge in Las Vegas, would not identify the person inside the vehicle, saying, "Our number one goal is to ensure that we have proper identification of the subject involved in the incident." The second objective, Schwartz said, was to determine whether the explosion was an act of terrorism, which is being investigated by a joint terrorism task force.

"Act Of Pure Evil": Trump Slams Democrats Over New Orleans Truck Attack 

President-elect Donald Trump reignited the debate over immigration and crime following a tragic car-ramming incident in New Orleans that left at least 15 people dead and 35 others injured during New Year's Eve celebrations, blaming Democrats for dismissing his warnings about criminal migration into the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turns out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before.

Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists were injured in Lebanon on Tuesday after handheld pagers “exploded” in what the group claims was a targeted attack, according to a state media report. 

Members of the terrorist organization confirmed the “wide-range attacks” on its operatives, including fighters and medics, with one member claiming its the “biggest security breach” since it began its attacks on the Jewish State began on October 8th

Videos on social media caught the explosions on camera. Viewers can see the Hezbollah men, who had communication devices in their pockets, suddenly react after small explosions occur seemingly out of nowhere. Seconds later, Islamist terrorists began crying in pain as bystanders ran away in terror. 

Among those injured when the pagers exploded included Iran’s ambassador in Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, Iranian state media reported. 

Hezbollah officials are now claiming that Israel and the IDF were behind the “pager attacks,” while the Israeli military has not yet commented on the incidents. 

“The enemy [Israel] stands behind this security incident,” a Hezbollah official told the Associated Press

The pagers that detonated were reportedly the latest models that the terrorist organization had recently acquired and given to its members. Reuters was informed by several sources that there is now ongoing suspicion that someone or a group working for Israel had discreetly tampered with the devices.

Additionally, one Hezbollah official told a Middle Eastern correspondent working for the Wall Street Journal that some Hezbollah members felt their pagers quickly begin to heat up, so they disposed of them immediately before a detonation could occur.

The leader of the terrorist group, Hassan Nasrallah, previously warned his men of the possible dangers of carrying cell phones or pagers, claiming that their movements could be tracked or they could have a targeted strike carried out against them. 

Nevertheless, who or what is behind the pager explosions has still not been revealed.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry has asked its emergency personnel treating the wounded to get rid of all their wireless devices. Additionally, local residents claimed that the explosions continued for “over 30 minutes” after the initial explosion. 

Currently, no deaths have been reported as of Tuesday morning, but at least several casualties are expected after examining the Hezbollah members’ gruesome injuries, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad.

The explosions come as Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in daily attacks over the border since the terrorist group joined Hamas in their joint effort against the Jewish state.
