Terrorist organization «Islamic state» has claimed responsibility for a terrorist act committed by an immigrant from Uzbekistan , Saipov Capullo.
According to the SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks online activity of extremist organizations, on Thursday evening, in the weekly issue of the newspaper «al-NABA» , the information appeared that «the attacker is one of the soldiers of the Caliphate».
While in the online edition was not published evidence of this fact.
Despite this, investigators believe that Saipov was acting alone when he planned the attack, which killed 8 people. But they are convinced that his actions are significantly influenced by the ideology and methods of the group.
As it became known, the Islamic state has repeatedly called on his followers to use vehicles for terrorist attacks.
Authorities stated that Saipov had carefully planned the assault and left a few notes that «ISIS will live forever». And on his phone found a lot of videos with the propaganda of the Islamic state.
President Donald trump believes that the terrorist deserves the death penalty, as he wrote in his Twitter. However, he referred to the fact that Saipov was asked to hang the flag of the Islamic state in his hospital room.
We will remind, the wife of the terrorist claims that he did not know about the sinister plans of her husband. A man who led a conversation with her a few hours after the incident on Tuesday, said that he was «shocked and horrified».
