New York Attack

A 29-year-old man plowed into a crowd of bicyclists and pedestrians with a truck just blocks away from the World Trade Center Tuesday afternoon. Six victims were killed instantly. Two others died later. And 11 are trying to recover as authorities try to figure out what led to the attack. According to the New York mayor, “This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians.” The suspect has been identified as Sayfullo Saipov. The Uzbekistan native allegedly drove a rented pickup truck onto a busy bike path, crashed the truck into a school bus, then stepped outside brandishing imitation firearms. A police officer shot Saipov in the abdomen, but the suspect survived and underwent surgery Tuesday evening. It's unclear what Saipov might tell investigators. According to police, a note left near the truck used in the attack says it was done in the name of ISIS, although the terror group has not publicly claimed responsibility.

In Other News A new court filing from the Justice Department on Tuesday revealed some interesting things about former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who was indicted this week on money laundering and other charges. Apparently, he currently has three US passports, each under a different number. This year alone, he traveled to Mexico, China and Ecuador with a phone and email account registered under a fake name, according to the filing. Both Manafort and Trump campaign official Rick Gates were also frequent travelers to Cyprus. "Extensive travel of this nature further evidences a risk of flight," the prosecutor's filing said. After turning himself in Monday, Manafort is under house arrest. He and Gates have both pleaded not guilty to all charges. The Dodgers and Astros will be playing Game 7 of the World Series tonight.
