Manhattan attack: Sayfullo Saipov identified as driver who killed 8

Authorities have found a note in the truck which indicates that the attack was done for ISIS, according to sources.

The 29-year-old suspect was identified by two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation as Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov. He is from the central Asian nation of Uzbekistan and came to the United States in 2010.

Saipov most recently lived in New Jersey, a law enforcement source said. Neighbors said he did recently live in Paterson, not far from New York, at least part time. The man rented the truck in New Jersey on Tuesday, a person briefed on the investigation told mediapersons.

The Witnesses reported the suspect was yelling "Allahu Akbar," according to four law enforcement sources. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is taking over the lead of the investigation. After crashing the truck into a school bus, the suspect exited the vehicle while displaying imitation firearms and was shot in the abdomen by a police officer.
