FULL TITLE: New York terror truck driver pledged allegiance to ISIS: Uzbek man, 29, who killed eight and injured 15 with his vehicle while shouting Allahu Akbar near Ground Zero left behind notes and a flag
The man who allegedly ran down cyclists and pedestrians along 17 Manhattan blocks pledged his allegiance to ISIS before his attack, it has emerged.
Police sources say Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, 29, entered a bicycle path at Houston Street at 3.05pm and drove downtown, knocking down victims before smashing into a school bus at Chambers Street, exiting and shouting 'Allahu Akbar'.
He then waved a paintball gun in one hand and a pellet gun in the other, and was shot in the abdomen by a police officer. He has now exited surgery and police are waiting for him to wake up before they question him.
Images of ISIS flags were found in his truck, as well as handwritten notes pledging his allegiance to the terrorist group, insiders told the New York Post.
As the horrific toll - currently at eight dead and at least 15 injured, including one child in critical condition - climbed up, details began to emerge about Saipov's life.
He was an Uzbekistan native who had lived in the US for seven years, ran two trucking companies and was a 'friendly' Uber driver, sources claim.
And although he was reportedly found with a Florida ID when arrested, he had lived most recently in New Jersey, and ran two trucking companies located in Ohio.
He was also said to be a friendly Uber driver who was good with kids - and did not like people taking his photo.

Islam is demonic. What is it that Islam does to turn perfectly normal people into raving homicidal maniacs?
When will the American “news” media publish this story? If I didn’t visit Free Republic, I wouldn’t have heard anything about it. And I used to live down there part of the time, and still have a couple of children and grandchildren in the neighborhood.
My first thought on this was - if there had been a normal amount of concealed carry in NYC, how much sooner would this have ended?
“...and was a ‘friendly’ Uber driver...”
...right up until the SECOND he mowed you down!
I agree. WHY isn’t he DEAD, for starters, why are we wasting plasma on this POS and, as always, WHY WAS HE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!
Dreamers? My Aunt Fanny! Build. The. Damn. Wall. Deport. Deport. Deport!
If I don’t go to Daily Mail for something to post not sure what really happened!

“if there had been a normal amount of concealed carry in NYC, how much sooner would this have ended”
That was my second thought.
My first was why had Trump not deported this Goat******?
“What is it that Islam does to turn perfectly normal people into raving homicidal maniacs?”
A lot of inbreeding, for starters. I’m thinking they’re not ‘normal’ to start with. They can’t possibly be.
He was brought here thanks to Schmucky Schumer’s “Diversity Visa” so people in NY can thank him for 8 slaughtered today in NY
Just so. Allah is NOT God. God doesn’t instruct people to rape, enslave, and murder people in order to please Him.
One of OBAMA’S imports.
Shot once in the stomach? He should have been full of holes.
So why is an Uzbekistan-native Uber driver in this country?
There aren't enough American drivers? We can't find any?
What government agency or NGO let him in?
any other shooter be dead, black man running from the po-lice be dead, mentally ill person who does not obey? he dead, but a raghead doing an act of terrorism? Oh now he lives.
Liberals would have called this “gun violence” had he shot people. Is this “truck violence”?
You think Schumer would support a "diversity visa" for Israel? Or is it only for the goys?
CNN will blame it on Trump or global warming. They are idiots or crimminals, I think the latter.
Why is ISIS not dead?
