Add BT as a preferred sourceNew York
INVESTIGATORS in Uzbekistan combed records and intelligence reports on militant factions in the Central Asian nation on Wednesday seeking to fill out the portrait of the 29-year-old immigrant who brought Halloween death and bloodshed to a Manhattan bike path.
The Washington Post reported that the Uzbek probe came as US officials also dug deeper into the life of the suspect, identified as Sayfullo Saipov, since he arrived in the United States six years ago and shifted from New Jersey to Ohio and Florida. Saipov was wounded by police as they surrounded the rented flatbed truck on Tuesday after it mowed through cyclists and others on the popular bike route overlooking the Hudson River.
