Terrorism charges have been filed against suspect Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov in connection to the attack Tuesday in which a truck was driven down a bike lane in Manhattan, taking the lives of eight people.
Federal prosecutors charged Saipov with providing material support to the Islamic State and for violence and destruction of motor vehicles, which lead to eight deaths and a dozen more injured, according to a charging document from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
