A truck plows into people in New York City in cowardly act of terror-8 dead.
Today a cowardly act of terror stuck in New York when
a man driving a rental truck struck and killed eight people on a bike path on Tuesday
afternoon. The sprawling crime scene runs about 10 blocks along the west side
highway, a few blocks away from the one world trade center.
According to one witness he was walking along the
path when he saw a truck plow into two cyclists riding about 20 feet in front
of him. According to him the impact sent one of the victims straight up into
the air, and the man was motionless when he landed back on the ground.
The driver then continued at a high speed before
crashing. A uniformed police officer was credited with stopping the carnage. According
to him a suspect is in custody and is identified as 29 year old sayfullo saipov
of Tampa, Florida.
Now the terrible news is that the suspect is
reported to have screamed allahu akbar after the crash and this is the key
reason I am personally looking at terrorism as a possible motive. The suspect
has left a note saying he carried out the attack on behalf of ISIS.
Both the NYPD and FBI are seeking public assistance
in the investigation into the terrorist act that occurred in lower Manhattan
earlier today. However you can be rest assured as more police would be
monitoring the streets on Halloween night. The city's annual Halloween parade in the
West Village will still take place tonight.
