NYC terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov brags about attack from hospital bed

Source: CBS News




By STEFAN BECKET CBS NEWS November 1, 2017, 9:24 AM

NEW YORK -- The suspect in Tuesday's terrorist attack in lower Manhattan bragged to police about the deadly attack from his hospital bed, saying he would have continued the attack had he not crashed into a school bus.

Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, 29, told police he is pleased with his actions and is unapologetic for the attack, which killed 8 people and injured at least 11. Sources tell CBS News he made "no bones" about what he did.

Investigators also discovered 10 to 15 pieces of paper with writing in Arabic praising the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. One note said "ISIS will endure," sources say.

Police also recovered knives at the scene.

I hope they don't execute him. He wants to die a martyr, it would be so much more fitting for him to have to die an old man, living with the knowledge of what he has done. No doubt his radicalism will eventually fade to regret, or at least misery, in a prison for the rest of his life.

I hadn't known of this facility. Thanks for calling it to our attention:

A glance through Googled images makes me hope you're right and this scumbag ends up there for the rest of his life.

My Senior Seminar for History was on Domestic Terrorism, that place was a common thread among most of the terrorists.

He could have had a family. Could have explored the world. Could have done so many great things. But instead he's going to spend the rest of his life in a cage. I wonder if he's going to be bragging 40 years from now.

and shave his head just to insult him and his fucked up god/religion to take that smile off his face, since he is bragging about it.
