Terror in New York: 8 people were killed and 12 injured when a terrorist named Sayfullo Saipov age 29 from Uzbekistan took a rented home Depot Truck and drove over a mile down the Westway bike path southward from West Houston street to Chambers street trying to hit as many bike riders and pedestrians as possible. After going off the bike path he rammed his car into a school bus full of terrified students. He got out and wanted to use his air rifle to shoot more people when police shot him. Notes the terrorist left in his car say he swore allegiance to ISIS but his ties with ISIS are being investigated and have not yet been confirmed.
President Trump sent his condolences to the victim’s families and said that now is the time for extreme vetting. Security is the priority over political correctness. It’s senseless to rout ISIS in the Middle East only to have them terrorize us at home.
