It says that the man acted on behalf of the "Islamic state" (IG, banned in Russia and other countries). Investigators are likely to question such an attack motive, the Washington Post suggests.. And while they said that, probably, the criminal was a "lone wolf" - one who acted alone and was not directly instructed by the IG. The executor of the terrorist act, according to the US media, is the 29-year-old Uzbek native Seyfulloo Saipov, who arrived in the United States in 2010. He had an expired green card. "In recent years, he lived in the state of New Jersey near New York," - reported Fox News referring to their sources. Saipov worked as a driver for Uber. He was checked biographical data, confirmed the representative of the company. The man is not connected with crime, writes CBS News. According to official police data, a 29-year-old man in a truck drove a few blocks through a bicycle lane separated by a curb from the roadway in the western part of Manhattan and squeezed everyone who was on the way. Then the attacker crashed into the school bus. When he got out of the driver's cabin, presumably with a weapon in his hands, the police opened fire on him, wounding him in the stomach. Eight people were killed and 12 injured. Among the victims were five Argentines and Belgians, foreign ministries of Belgium and Argentina. US President Donald Trump called the incident "another attack of a very sick and abnormal person". "We must not allow the IG to return or enter our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere. Enough! "- he wrote on Twitter.
