From the New York Post [caution tabloid]:
Both served in the Army. Both served in Afghanistan in 2009. Both previously served at Fort Liberty — formerly Fort Bragg — in Fayetteville, North Carolina. And both carried out extremely rare, apparently premeditated incidences of domestic terrorism on the same New Years Day morning.
President Biden and the FBI said that so far there is no evidence connecting. However, the startling similarities are difficult to ignore, especially given the relatively rare rate of terror attacks and general extremism in the military, Center for Strategic and International Studies senior advisor Mark Cancian told The Post. Given the coincidences, the FBI is still investigating any possible connections, Las Vegas division Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans said during the Thursday press conference with local police.
