Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., on Thursday called on whistleblowers who know anything about the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks to reach out to her office.

"If you are at Fort Bragg (Liberty) and have any information regarding these three men but are afraid to come forward to your chain of command, I can provide whistleblower protection and intake information," Luna wrote on the social media platform, X.

She provided her office number in the post.

On New Year's Day, a man drove a pickup truck through a crowd of people in the New Orleans French Quarter, killing 15 and injuring dozens, before opening fire on police.

The suspect was identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas. He died in the shootout with police, ending the carnage.

On the same day, a Tesla truck caught fire and exploded outside of President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel. The cybertruck bomber was also identified as a Special Forces military man.

Former FBI Executive Assistant Director Christopher Piehota predicted Thursday that future terrorist attacks in the U.S. would likely be carried out using guerrilla tactics that will be low tech but that will "beat high tech."
