A man driving a rental truck plowed into pedestrians and cyclists on a jogging and bike path in lower Manhattan in New York City Tuesday afternoon, killing at least eight people and injuring many others in what New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called a "cowardly act of terror."
The sprawling crime scene runs about 10 blocks along the West Side Highway, a few blocks away from One World Trade Center.
A suspect was apprehended at the scene. Multiple law enforcement officials told ABC News that the suspect in custody was identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov of Tampa, Florida.

No. But I don’t know what else to call an apartment you use part of the time. We live in Vermont, and I commuted to an apartment in NYC for many years. Unless the weather was really bad, I took the train back up to Vermont every weekend, to be with the wife and kids. I taught at NYU, and they gave me a good price on the rental.

We called them safe houses.
Cheers.
A jihadi knows those words have no power over him. He doesnt care if anyone thinks hes a coward. Anyone that matters to him doesnt care if others think hes a coward. The jihadi knows the authorities empty words are for our ears, not his. As long as he can accomplish his task and words are all that are in his way, hell act and have his way.
