The ISIS terrorist group has officially claimed responsibility for the attack in Lower Manhattan that killed eight people and injured several more earlier this week.

It called Uzbek national Sayfullo Saipov, 29, a “soldier” in a weekly newspaper, but the writers offered no evidence to support the claim, Reuters reported.
