they didn t forge documents. by heavens, john, isis, as you know, actually controlled the printing presses. we need to know who s coming here. good news for us now, if there is good news in this tragedy, and if we can learn something from this, hopefully we can learn something from this individual. because in many cases, they don t survive the attack. and we have a chance to intgai integrate interrogate him. what inspired you to do this? it s important for us to be able to have that conversation with this individual and hopefully learn lessons from that. this is very unusual and an opportunity for counter-terror officials here. you re on the house intelligence committee, so i want to use this opportunity to ask you a little bit about the russia investigation. george papadopoulos, who was a campaign adviser, unpaid, to then candidate donald trump donald trump, pleaded guilty to lying about meetings that had to do with russian connections. again, you ve been investigating
of mind for us. eight people murdered less than 24 hours ago, right across there. 13 more injured. some in critical condition, still in the hospital this morning. we are also learning more details about the suspect, the 29-year-old uzbek national, a father of three who lived not far from here in new jersey, who we know is talking to authorities from his hospital bed right now. the governor of new york says that he was radicalized domestically, at some point in the last seven years in this country. but what about being from uzbekistan and ties to isis that he claims? let s go to our nick paton walsh who joins us from london. talk to us about ties that we know of from uzbekistan to isis. reporter: as you say, it s not clear if there are any ties between mr. saipov and uzbekistan particularly, but it is clear that uzbekistan has many ties to isis. a lot of the foreign fighters that we ve been coming across in syria and iraq hail from uzbekistan. and this comes after the pretty
the home depot in new jersey was still there. the crime scene is being processed. a very important aspect of this case. now, we also have learned more that it is believed that the suspect sayfullo saipov, was planning this attack for some time. authorities believe around 2:00 yesterday afternoon is when he went to the home depot in new jersey, rented the truck, the pickup truck, left his own vehicle there, crossed over the george washington bridge and into manhattan, executing this attack at 3:05 p.m. we also can report that investigators are looking at his social media. investigators have found social media linked to the suspect that includes isis-related material. what it actually says, what part of his state of mind it may form, we don t know at this point, but, obviously, a part of this investigation and we shall not forget the victims in all of
night and has been speaking as well. and that goes to ryan nash, this amazing 28-year-old nypd officer who was able to apprehend him, but keep him alive and hope that he would talk. absolutely and the third thing is, we need to establish as soon as you hear isis, nexus to isis, was this directed by isis, which means conspiracy, inspired, or aspiring. and we know, nata, according to you, he was radicalized domestically. so at some point over the last seven years since he came here, something or a series of things happened. was he on the radar of law enforcement? we don t know yet. we re waiting for a lot of these answers. but to you the fact that he s talking this morning, how significant? i think it s very significant. i m thankful that the nypd officer was table to take the action that he did so that we can hear from the suspect, what his motives were behind this. because i will say, from a perspective of whether or not he was inspired or it was directed by isis, in some way
children. and we also know that he was radicalized domestically, that according to the governor of new york. listen to this. he is a depraved coward, is what he is. and he was associated with isis and he was radicalized domestically. and he s a depraved coward. all right. let s go to jean casarez. she s following all the latest developments. jean, i want to know, so much attention always goes to the attacker, you know, in all of this. but there is also a hero, ryan nash, this 28-year-old nypd officer from the first precinct who apprehended him last night. and that is a name and a face we should all remember this morning. that s right. and i think that s one of the amazing and such a heroic part of all of this. his name is ryan nash. he was an nypd officer, simply patrolling the neighborhood. that was his job.
