Investigations into US Terror Attacks
The FBI is investigating two deadly attacks that occurred in New Orleans and Las Vegas, with the former being treated as an act of terrorism. The suspect in New Orleans, identified as a supporter of ISIS, acted alone in an assault that resulted in multiple casualties.

This investigation raises concerns about security measures for upcoming public events, particularly with the presidential inauguration approaching.
