Sayfullo Saipov: Details emerge on alleged NYC attacker


READ MORE

The man who killed at least eight people by driving a truck down a busy bicycle path in New York City on Tuesday has been identified by news organizations in the U.S. and elsewhere as Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old commercial truck driver originally from Uzbekistan.


Saipov emigrated to the U.S. in 2010 and later became a permanent legal resident. 


He was living in Paterson, N.J., based on Pennsylvania traffic court records from 2012 and 2015, and other documents, cited by several media outlets.


Saipov lived in Paterson — a city of some 147,000 people, about 25 kilometres northwest of the site of the attack — with his wife and three children, according to an unnamed law enforcement official who spoke to ABC News. 


ABC also reported Saipov left a note at the scene “saying he had carried out the attack on behalf of the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS.” CBS News had a similar report about a note.




Saipov also has ties to Ohio, worked there as a commercial truck driver and registered two businesses, both of which are still active.


He registered Sayf Motors in 2011 and Bright Auto in 2013. Bright Auto is also registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation, with one truck and one driver, according to several media reports.


A BuzzFeed News reporter visited an apartment complex in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, that matched the address for Bright Auto. 


Neighbours “said they recognized Saipov and saw him frequently,” according to BuzzFeed.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post interviewed a Cincinnati woman, Dilnoza Abdusamatova, who said Saipov stayed with her family when he first arrived in the U.S., because their fathers were friends. She said he then moved to Florida.


Saipov “stopped talking to us when he got married,” Abdusamatova told the Post.  


The Post and other outlets report he lived in Tampa, Fla.


Records also show traffic offences for Saipov in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Missouri, according to multiple news outlets. 


Officials have not confirmed the name of the suspect in the New York City attack, who was shot by police and remained in critical condition Tuesday night.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
