A 22-count indictment was returned on Tuesday against a New Jersey man in the killings of eight people during a truck attack on a bike path in New York City.
Sayfullo Saipov, 29, of Paterson, was charged in Manhattan federal court with providing material support to the Islamic State group, along with eight counts of murder and 12 counts of attempted murder in aid of racketeering. Numerous counts carry a potential penalty of death.
He was arrested after people were run over by a vehicle on 31 October in a midday attack that authorities immediately labeled terrorism.
His lawyer did not return a message seeking comment.
