WASHINGTON–A federal grand jury on Tuesday, Nov. 21, indicted Sayfullo Saipov on terrorism and murder charges stemming from last month’s truck attack in Lower Manhattan in which eight people were killed, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement.

Saipov was arrested immediately after the Oct. 31 attack in which he plowed a truck down a New York City bike lane and has been in federal custody.
