Police have confirmed that the Uzbek immigrant accused of killing eight and injuring 12 in New York City carried out the attack in the name of the Islamic State terror group. He did this in the name of ISIS, New York deputy police commissioner John Miller said Wednesday. Miller added that the suspect had been planning this for a number of weeks. The attacker is identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, an immigrant from Uzbekistan. He came to the United States in 2010 through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, also known as the lottery diversity immigration program. Officials say Saipov drove a pickup truck down a bicycle path in New York City on Tuesday. Eight people died and 12 others were injured. He then ran down a highway, holding fake guns and shouting “God is great” in Arabic. Police then shot the man. He remains hospitalized in critical condition.
