NYC Terror Suspect Had Been Planning Attack for Close to a Year

9

The suspect in the recent New York City terror attack, Sayfullo Saipov, said he’s been plotting his horror for almost a year, according to prosecutors.

And he settled on the use of a rental truck as his tool of terror about two months ago.

A woman leaves flowers at the gateway to the bike path where eight were just killed by a terrorist.

Moreover, Saipov said he intentionally picked Halloween because he thought it would offer him the opportunity to kill and injure the most.

Saipov, 29, was charged in the deadliest attack on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001.

The Daily Caller News Foundation found more:

Investigators questioned those close to Saipov, and they said he had been heading down a dark path of destruction for “years.”

Saipov left behind letters at the crime scene written in Arabic, leading authorities to believe he is connected with the Islamic State and radical Islamic terrorism. He was heard shouting the terrorist chant “Allahu Akbar” after hitting a school bus and jumping out of his car, running into oncoming traffic.

He also requested an ISIS flag be hung in his hospital room to while he recovers from wounds. Investigators are still looking into if Saipov acted alone or had additional accomplices.

Absurd to try terrorists in civilian courts. Put them in front of a military court and execute them by firing squad as terrorists and spies.

Agree. And make this nutjob http://bit.ly/2u4CPfj pay for the compensation for death and destruction caused by the jihadis

But the Left/liberal judges and Loons will protest all the way and RINO”s on saudi/qatar payroll will oppose any such changes to law.

Trump can pass a decree and get on with it .

The bike path killer’s name is very significant. Retired US Army Lt Col. Sargis S____ sent me a note about this. Sargis is an ASSYRIAN Christian from Iran:

“The terror suspect in NY name is Sayfullo Saipov. Sayfullo in Arabic means Sword of Allah… for the Islamic Jihad. The Seyfo Center is named after the sword that was used in WWI by the Turks and Sunni Muslim Kurds to kill 750,000 Assyrians in northern Iraq and Southern Turkey in the first genocide of the 20th century.”

Pam, at every opportunity, please mention that his name literally means Sword of Allah….and we gave him a “diversity lottery” green card anyway! And we let him choose 23 more future jihadists to bring in. Madness.

How does it possibly take a year to plan out how you are going to drive a vehicle over unsuspecting people? What an imbecile.
