8 Dead in New York City after truck attack;
Mayor calls it an act of terror
Mayor calls it an act of terror
On October 31st, an Uzbekistan man suspected of driving the rental truck into the bike path which resulted in the deaths of 8 people and 12 wounded people. The attack happened near the original World Trade Center where the terrorist attack of 9/11 took place. Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed that this attack was a consequence of a terrorist attack, which I can agree with since this would be the second terrorist attack that NYC has experienced. A note was found in the rental truck that the suspect was driving, which referenced the terrorist group of ISIS and yelling "Allahu Akbar" meaning "God is great." The driver hit a school bus, a vehicle, pedestrians, foreign tourists, and bicyclists. The country of Belgium has spoken about the loss of one Belgian and the 3 wounded Belgians and the country of Argentina have spoken on the loss lives of the Argentine citizens.
It is unjustifiable how innocent people were stripped from their lives by a man who had no reasons to do so, but wanted to play the role of a villain by trying to reference the biggest terrorist group. My heart goes out the communities, families, and people affected by this incident. In addition to that, I hope the man responsible for all of this pays his time.
This so sad. It is hard to believe that someone would do this to innocent people. I also hope that the man responsible is punished for actions, which are like you said, unjustifiable.
ReplyDeleteOlivia Wall- That is terrible. And very interesting that they found the terrorist note inside the vehicle.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this. I don't understand why anyone would do something like this. I agree in hopes that the man responsible pays his time.
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to believe this. What is wrong with people? It's such an awful thing that has happened and my heart goes out to all of the families suffering right now.
