Eight people have been killed and 11 others wounded after a
driver struck pedestrians and cyclists along a bicycle path near
the World Trade Centre in lower Manhattan, before crashing into a
school bus.
The suspect then got out of the rented truck brandishing two
“imitation weapons”, and was heard shouting “Allahu akbar,” Arabic
for “God is great,” before he was shot in the abdomen by a
police officer.
The man was taken into custody, and a pellet gun and a paintball
gun were found at the scene.

“This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of
terror aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going about
their lives who had no idea what was about to hit them,” New York
Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
The suspect was identified by two law enforcement sources
familiar with the investigation as 29-year-old Sayfullo
Habibullaevic Saipov. According to CNN, “he is from the central Asian nation
of Uzbekistan and came to the United States in 2010”.
US President Donald Trump took to Twitter to denounce the
attack, appearing to attribute the deaths to Islamic State.
We must not allow ISIS to return, or enter,
our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere.

There are conflicting reports of a note being found at the
scene, with the New York Times reporting “handwritten notes in
Arabic near the truck that indicated allegiance to the Islamic
State”, while CNN says the notes were written in English.
“Officials in New York said additional resources were being
deployed around the city, where children would be on the streets
late into the evening to celebrate Halloween,” The Guardian says.
