Driver of exploded truck identified as soldier: Police

NEW ORLEANS/LAS VEGAS — Officials on Thursday identified the person found dead inside the vehicle that exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas as a US Army soldier from Colorado, while the FBI said it was not yet clear if the blast was an act of terrorism.

The FBI said it had so far found no definitive link between the New Year's Day New Orleans truck attack that killed 15 people and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas later on the same day, which left seven people with minor injuries.

The driver was identified as Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty soldier from Colorado Springs, and police said he acted alone.
