The Uzbek immigrant accused of using a truck to mow people down along a bike path, killing eight, 香蕉视频直播渄id this in the name of ISIS,香蕉视频直播� police said Wednesday.

Investigators, meanwhile, were at the hospital bedside of 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, working to extract information about the attack Tuesday near the World Trade Center memorial that also left 12 people injured, a law enforcement official said.

The official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Saipov was lucid after surgery for wounds suffered when he was shot by police outside his rented Home Depot pickup truck.

John Miller, deputy police commissioner for intelligence, said Saipov left behind notes at the scene, handwritten in Arabic with symbols and words, that essentially said the Islamic State group, or ISIS, 香蕉视频直播渨ould endure forever.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚t appears that Mr. Saipov had been planning this for a number of weeks. He did this in the name of ISIS,香蕉视频直播� Miller said, citing the notes.

In the past few years, the Islamic State has been exhorting followers online to use vehicles or other close-at-hand means of killing people in their home countries. England, France and Germany have seen deadly vehicle attacks in the past year or so.

香蕉视频直播淗e appears to have followed, almost exactly to a T, the instructions that ISIS has put out in its social media channels before with instructions to its followers on how to carry out such an attack,香蕉视频直播� Miller said.

Miller said Saipov had never been the subject of a New York police investigation but appears to have some links to people who have been investigated.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo called Saipov a 香蕉视频直播渄epraved coward.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淗e was radicalized domestically,香蕉视频直播� he said on CNN. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 not the first time. It香蕉视频直播檚 a global phenomenon now.香蕉视频直播�

In a number of recent extremist attacks around the world, the assailants were found to have been inspired but not actually directed by the Islamic State, and in some cases never even made contact with the group.

On the morning after the bloodshed, city leaders vowed New York would be not intimidated, and they commended New Yorkers for going ahead with Halloween festivities on Wednesday night.

They also said Sunday香蕉视频直播檚 New York City Marathon, with 50,000 participants and some 2 million spectators anticipated, will go on as scheduled.

香蕉视频直播淲e will not be cowed. We will not be thrown off by anything,香蕉视频直播� Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

While the mayor said there have been no credible threats of any additional attacks, police announced the deployment of heavy-weapon teams and other stepped-up security along the marathon route, in the subways and other sites, and New York Police Commissioner James O香蕉视频直播橬eill urged people to be vigilant and tell police if they see 香蕉视频直播渟omething that doesn香蕉视频直播檛 look right.香蕉视频直播�

In Tuesday香蕉视频直播檚 attack, Saipov hurtled down the bike path, running down cyclists and pedestrians, then crashed into a school bus, authorities said. He was shot in the abdomen after he jumped out of the vehicle brandishing air guns and yelling 香蕉视频直播淕od is great!香蕉视频直播� in Arabic, they said.

De Blasio called it 香蕉视频直播渁 cowardly act of terror.香蕉视频直播�

The dead consisted of five people from Argentina, one from Germany, and two Americans, authorities said. Nine people remained hospitalized in serious or critical condition, with injuries that included lost limbs and head, chest and neck wounds.

A roughly two-mile stretch of highway in lower Manhattan was shut down for the investigation. Authorities also converged on a New Jersey apartment building and a van in a parking lot at a New Jersey Home Depot.

President Donald Trump railed against the Islamic State on Twitter and declared 香蕉视频直播淓nough!香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淣OT IN THE U.S.A.!香蕉视频直播�

On Wednesday, the president took a swipe at the Senate香蕉视频直播檚 top Democrat, saying Saipov came to the U.S. under a visa lottery program 香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播渁 Chuck Schumer beauty.香蕉视频直播� Trump urged tougher immigration measures based on merit.

Schumer, who represents New York, said in a statement that he has always believed that immigration 香蕉视频直播渋s good for America.香蕉视频直播�

New Yorkers woke to a heavy police presence Wednesday outside the World Trade Center and at other locations around the city.

Runners and cyclists who use the popular bike path for their pre-dawn exercise were diverted away from the crime scene by officers stationed at barricades just north of where the rampage began.

Dave Hartie, 57, who works in finance, said he rides his bike along the path every morning.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 great to be in the city and have that kind of peace,香蕉视频直播� he said. As for the attack, he said, 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 the messed-up world we live in these days. Part of me is surprised it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 happen more often.香蕉视频直播�

The slight, bearded Saipov is from heavily Muslim Uzbekistan and came to the U.S. legally in 2010, police said. He has a Florida driver香蕉视频直播檚 license but was apparently living in New Jersey, they said.

Records show Saipov was a commercial truck driver who formed a pair of businesses in Ohio. He had also driven for Uber.

Mirrakhmat Muminov, 38, of Stow, Ohio, said he knew Saipov because they were both Uzbek truck drivers. He portrayed Saipov as an argumentative young man whose work was falling apart and who 香蕉视频直播渨as not happy with his life.香蕉视频直播�

Muminov said Saipov lost his insurance on his truck after his rates shot up because of a few traffic tickets, and companies stopped hiring him. Muminov said he heard from Saipov香蕉视频直播檚 friends that Saipov香蕉视频直播檚 truck engine blew up a few months ago in New Jersey.

Muminov said Saipov would get into arguments with his friends and family, tangling over even small things, such as going to a picnic with the Uzbek community.

香蕉视频直播淗e had the habit of disagreeing with everybody. He was never part of the community. He was always alone, no respect for elders, no respect for community,香蕉视频直播� Muminov said.

He said he and Saipov would sometimes argue about politics and world affairs, including about Israel and Palestine. He said Saipov never spoke about ISIS, but he could tell he held radical views.
