Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, a 29-year-old Uzbek man, was a father and a small business owner before he drove a truck down a lower Manhattan bike lane, killing eight and injuring at least 12.

In a note he left in his truck, he pledged allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group. Federal agents interviewed him two years ago about connections to suspected terrorists.
