Greetings. I'm Simone Sanders Townsend. In for Stephanie Rule. Tonight, Americans are on edge after the terror attack in New Orleans and the cyber truck explosion in Las Vegas. Today, authorities released more information about both incidents and say at this point there is no evidence they are connected.

Investigators say the driver in the New Orleans attack acted alone and was inspired by ISIS.

And NBC News reports that the FBI found remnants of bomb making in the attacker's home in Houston

and a significant amount of bomb-making materials and chemicals in his

trailer in Harris County, Texas. NBC's senior national correspondent Tom Yamas will start us off with

residence where he stayed in New Orleans, locating three cell phones and two laptops. And tonight,

piecing together more information about the man who had an ISIS flag on the truck he used in the attack.

We now know he was an army veteran who at one point deployed to Afghanistan,

worked as a realtor, property manager, and beginning in 2021, an employee at financial consulting firm Deloitte.

But also, more recently, someone who posted videos expressing his

desire to kill and his inspiration from ISIS. Five videos the FBI says posted to Facebook

in the moments before his deadly rampage. In the first video, Jabbar explains he originally

planned to harm his family and friends, but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the, quote, war between the believers and the disbelievers.
