The terrorist in New York planned the attack last Tuesday in advance. The 29-year-old perpetrator has probably prepared the attack with the pick-up truck for a few weeks’ time, a police spokeswoman said.
“He did it in the name of IS. It seems that the man has followed the instructions of IS almost point by point.” At the attack on Tuesday in southwest Manhattan, eight people were killed, eleven were injured.
According to the judicial committees in the House of Representatives and the Senate, the perpetrator entered the United States on a so-called Uzbekistan Diversity Visa in 2010. Commission President Bob Goodlatte has asked to terminate the program for these visas.
President Donald Trump decided to end this program at a White House cabinet meeting.
