just getting underway in las vegas with the sheriff, kevin mcmahill speaking this. i'm going to talk a little bit about his identity and what we believe, but i would like to highlight a couple of things that the teams found inside of the cybertruck that are useful to the investigation. and that, first and foremost, is a military identification. we also found a passport. we found a desert eagle 50 caliber semi-automatic pistol. and if you' notice on a lot of these guns that we're going to talk about here, they're almost just burnt beyond recognition as well. there's an slr model b 30 semiautomatic firearm, a number of fireworks that were still in the vehicle that had to be removed. notably, we found an iphone and a smart watch, and then several credit cards were also in the name of our subject. our subject is 37 year old matthew lyles burger. he's of colorado springs, colorado, born july 22nd of 1987. now, as you'll see here on a picture of his driver's license, let's see, the question really still remains for me. and i know that there's a lot of you folks in the med

you know, a sheriff kevin mcmahill of the las vegas metropolitan police department, said he knows andatching what's happening on social media. they're reading everything, and people are making these connections because both of these men had once been stationed in fort bragg, north carolina. both of them served in afghanistan in the same year. but they've also found no overlap between the two. no probable connections or communications between the two. but they said, you know, these are such coincidences that they're looking more into it. amna: so what kind of questions did people have today that law enforcement still doesn't have answers for, and where does the investigation go next? joe: motive. fbi special agent in charge of las vegas area came on and said they are searching literally worldwide for motive, to see if there's a motive. one of the reporters asked if this was specifically a suicide mission, and sheriff mcmahill would only call it a suicide, and somebody asked or not this truck had been purchased specifically because it would allow the explosion to go up rather than out,

. >> sandra: all right, police chief kevin mcmahill of the las vegas police department giving a lot of new information on this cybertruck explosion that happened outside the trump tower there. just a couple hours from when the new orleans incident occurred. they are not ruling a lot out detailing at this time that they are still really in the center of this investigation, but a lot of details coming from this, including the special forces master sergeant matthew live livelsberger, being shared by the police, detailing what they believe is a suicide. he said he was comfortable describing this as a suicide with a bombing that occurred immediately thereafter. so he shot himself before his rented cybertruck blew up. bill, the body was burnt beyond recognition, so he said now they are leaning on a military i.d., credit cards, passport, some tattoos that were found on the body that would match that person but he said we don't have 100% confirmation. this is the individual until they have a match of dna and medical records. also really important to point out the news that elon musk is sending

i know sheriff kevin mcmahill of the las vegas metropolitan police department.e is extremely forensic, very hands on, and he will look at every possible angle that may be connected to what transpired between las vegas and new orleans. it could just be coincidence, but it is nevertheless a reminder that these types of challenges, where individuals want to carry out attacks, whether they're ideological or whether there are other motives, it is a reminder, a sobering reminder that in 2025, terrorism hasn't gone away. and it also reminds us that vigilance is also going to have to be an absolute priority. and sometimes you can have separate incidents that may not be connected, or there could be threads that draw them together. >> all right. sajjan gohel, we appreciate your thoughts. thank you so much for joining us here in london. >> my pleasure. >> now, u.s. president joe biden says the suspect in the new orleans attack was, quote, inspired by i.s.i.s., especially the desire to kill. but he cautioned americans against jumping to conclusions, since the investigation

>> well, this is the thing that kevin mcmahill the sheriff in las vegas, and spencer evans, the special agent in charge of that office, and their teams have been poring over, which is get into the phones, get into the computers, get into the house. are their communications with radical groups or extremists, right wing extremists or foreign extremists? left wing extremists? and that's what they're not finding. are there connections or communications or associations with the new orleans suspect who blew up, um, who had ieds and did the ramming attack there? that's what they're not finding, what they are starting to see, though, are personal issues in his life, things going on in his family life that were problems for him, things going on in his army, life as a special forces green beret, counterterrorism, counterinsurgency specialist, signs of depression, uh, signs of sadness about long deployments and being away. talk about ptsd, about, you know, the amount of violence that they're exposed to, the killing, collateral damage of noncombatants, civilians who were killed. these are things th

on thursday, i watched metropolitan police sheriff kevin mcmahill lead a las vegas briefing. and what a difference in comparison to new orleans. the sole speakers were sheriff mcmahill, the fbi special agent in charge of las vegas, and the assistant special agent in charge of the atf. in other words, no politicians, no personalized garb, no sharp elbows, no self-congratulations, no partisan jokes about the media, just cops and prosecutors dispassionately telling the public what it needed to know based on the best available information. >> every tip and lead that comes in, every piece of evidence that comes in, we don't discount it. we work it through. you know, it's an interesting thing during these kinds of investigations that if these turn out to be simply similarities, very strange similarities to have. and so we're not prepared to rule in or rule out anything at this point. >> the only thing for sure is that there will be more tragedy and more press conferences. so let's hope these two responses will be studied. one for what not to do, the other to be emulated. the goal i

and also the comments from sheriff kevin mcmahill that they're looking outside of the us for any linksll? yeah, i think what's interesting - i i i think what's interesting — i meant thejoint i think what's interesting — i meant the joint terrorism task forces — they kind of operate like m15, the metropolitan police, nca, and all the areas throughout the uk would work together. they have people on the same team. that gives them reach overseas. we have a close special relationship there with the united kingdom and the intelligence officials over there, and even further on into embassies around the world. should the investigation lead overseas or to any particular place, the fbi and its partners are well—positioned to kind of gather that intelligence with those countries and bring that back. i don't think that's been the case yet, but they do have that reach—back, the case yet, but they do
