伊斯蘭國(guó)：紐約駕車襲擊者是其戰(zhàn)士
The Islamic State has claimed Sayfullo Saipov, the 29-year-old Uzbek immigrant who killed eight people in New York City earlier this week with a truck, as one of its own.
The terrorist group said in Al-Naba, the group's weekly newspaper, that the attacker was one of its "soldiers," but did not provide any evidence to support its claim.
Saipov, who came to the United States legally through the diversity lottery visa program, faces numerous terrorism related charges in connection with Tuesday's deadly rampage down a New York City bicycle path in a rented truck. In addition to the eight people who were killed, a dozen more were seriously injured.
Saipov was wounded by a police officer after the attack and was taken to a hospital. Hospital officials said the attacker stated his allegiance to IS and asked to have an IS flag in his hospital room. His request was denied.
Uzbekistan's president, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, said Wednesday the attack was ruthless and cruel, and that his government stood ready to use all means to assist in the investigation.
Law enforcement officials had noted that Saipov's method of using a rented truck was similar to IS-inspired vehicle attacks in other Western countries in recent years. New America, a nonpartisan research center, said 15 vehicular attacks have been carried out since 2024, killing more than 140 people.
With the New York City Marathon due to attract more than 50,000 runners and many hundreds of thousands of spectators this Sunday, the New York Police Department said it would increase the number of officers throughout the city "out of an abundance of caution."
伊斯蘭國(guó)聲稱，塞弗洛·薩伊波夫是他們的戰(zhàn)士。這名29歲的烏茲別克移民本周早些時(shí)候在紐約市駕駛卡車撞人，導(dǎo)致8人死亡。
這個(gè)恐怖組織在該組織的《資訊》周報(bào)（Al-Naba）上說(shuō)，這名襲擊者是他們的一名“戰(zhàn)士”，但沒(méi)有提供任何可以支持這一聲稱的證據(jù)。
薩伊波夫通過(guò)美國(guó)的多元化移民抽簽計(jì)劃合法進(jìn)入美國(guó)，他因星期二開(kāi)著租來(lái)的卡車在自行車道上沖撞，造成多人死傷而受到多項(xiàng)恐怖主義相關(guān)的指控。除8人被撞死，另有至少十幾人受重傷。
薩伊波夫襲擊后被警察開(kāi)槍打傷，被送到醫(yī)院治療。醫(yī)院官員說(shuō)，賽波夫表示效忠伊斯蘭國(guó)，還要求在他的病房里懸掛伊斯蘭國(guó)旗。他的要求遭到了拒絕。
烏茲別克斯坦總統(tǒng)沙夫卡特·米爾濟(jì)約耶夫星期三表示，這次襲擊是殘暴行為，并表示烏茲別克政府隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備盡全力協(xié)助調(diào)查。
執(zhí)法官員指出，薩伊波夫利用租來(lái)的卡車襲擊的方式跟近些年發(fā)生在西方國(guó)家的車輛襲擊事件類似，這種襲擊受到伊斯蘭國(guó)的鼓勵(lì)。無(wú)黨派色彩的研究中心新美國(guó)表示，2024年以來(lái)，一共發(fā)生了15起車輛襲擊事件，造成140多人喪生。
紐約馬拉松星期天（11月5日）在紐約市舉行，這項(xiàng)賽事吸引了5萬(wàn)多人參加、還有觀眾數(shù)十萬(wàn)人。紐約警察局表示，出于必要的謹(jǐn)慎，會(huì)在紐約全市增加警力。
