Turo App Vehicles Used in Deadly Holiday Attacks

Two deadly attacks occurred on New Year's Day involving vehicles rented via the car-sharing app Turo, with potential links being investigated by the FBI. In New Orleans, a US Army veteran drove a truck into a crowd, killing 15 people, while a Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas resulted in one death and several injuries. Both incidents are being probed for connections to terrorism, with a common military background observed among the suspects. Turo has confirmed the vehicles were rented through its platform and is cooperating with law enforcement. Although authorities have not confirmed a direct link between the two attacks, US President Joe Biden has convened a Homeland Security meeting to discuss the investigations. The FBI has stated that there is no ongoing threat to the community, but the situation remains under scrutiny.
