Federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday that terror charges were filed against Sayfullo Saipov for the attack on lower Manhattan. Saipov is charged with one count of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and one count of violence and destruction of motor vehicles.
According to ABC 7 Chicago, Court records also reveal that Saipov "wanted to display ISIS flags on the front and back of his truck during the attack, but decided against it because he did not want to draw attention to himself." He also asked law enforcement if he could display the ISIS flag in his hospital room.
The investigation is still in process.
