Yeah, it's just going to be a crazy coincidence.At first I was pretty sure they were related. But now I am not leaning that way.
NOLA guy initially intended to massacre his family, before taking a turn towards ISIS and carrying out a mass casualty attack. I was throwing cold water on the accomplice angle yesterday, when law enforcement believed he had help regarding the planting of bombs. That was a lone wolf attack all the way, and they did ultimately rule those people out.
Both of the goals in these attacks were different; mass casualties on the one hand and something more personal and symbolic on the other. I see this one as more of a straight up suicide with a bang.
He had no real expectation of committing a great deal of casualties.
