CAR rental firm Turo has broken its silence after cops found common links between the suspected Las Vegas bomber and the New Orleans terror attacker.
Both the Cybertruck that exploded and the pickup truck used in the New Orleans rampage were rented through the carsharing company.
The suspected bomber has been identified as US Army veteran Matthew Livelsberger who reportedly served at the same army base as the New Orleans suspect Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar.
However, investigators have yet to confirm any potential relationship or connections between the two.
Turo, which allows private car owners to rent out their vehicles via mobile app, said it found no security threats during the background checks of the suspects.
The company said in a statement: “It is with a heavy heart that we confirm that this morning’s horrific attack in New Orleans and this afternoon’s Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas both involved vehicles rented on Turo.
“We are actively partnering with law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents.
“We do not believe that either renter involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat.
“We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards in risk management, thanks to our world-class trust and safety technologies and teams that include experienced former law enforcement professionals.”
Massive flames were seen rising from a Tesla Cybertruck after it exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
Shocking footage caught the moment the blast occurred outside the glass entrance of the hotel just before 9am on New Year’s Day.
The Cybertruck was ripped apart by the huge explosion that sent its’ metal paneling flying.
The terrifying blast outside one of Donald Trump’s hotels killed Livelsberger and injured several others on New Year’s Day.
Shattered glass was thrown across the entrance of the hotel with seven others injured.
Inside the truck were fireworks, gas tanks, and camping fuel connected to a detonation system controlled by the driver.
It was reduced to a blazing wreck that continued to burn for some time.
Cops are probing whether the deadly explosion was an “act of terror” after the truck pulled up to the hotel in Nevada and blew up.
The explosion came just hours after suspected ISIS terrorist Jabbar rammed a truck into a crowd celebrating New Year in New Orleans, killing 14 and wounding dozens of people.
When the truck stopped and Jabbar got out, three officers gunned him down.
He was wearing full body armour and armed with an assault rifle when he allegedly caused the brazen attack.
Police found an ISIS flag on the back of his truck and they’re now searching for associates of the suspect who may have helped him in the terror plot.
Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said the Jabbar drove the pick-up truck down Bourbon Street “at a very fast pace” and was “intentionally trying to run over as many people as he possibly could”.
Meanwhile, pipe bombs were reportedly found inside the car concealed within coolers and were wired for remote detonation, a state police intelligence bulletin obtained by AP said.
The remote that controlled two of the bombs was also found inside the suspect’s tract along with two mason jars with explosives.
The FBI said the 3am attack is being investigated as an “act of terrorism” and they are investigating Jabbar’s “associations and affiliations”.
Jabbar – also an army vet – is said to have filmed several short clips while driving around late at night where he allegedly spoke about joining ISIS and killing his family.
