A suspect taken into custody in the New York City vehicle attack that killed eight people has been identified. He is from the capital city of Uzbekistan, entered the United States in 2010 through the so-called Diversity Visa Lottery, a special program started in 1995 that according to the State Department hands out about 55,000 visas per year to applicants, most of them from countries that don't send many émigrés to the United States.
He has since become a legal permanent resident and has lived most recently in Paterson, New Jersey, with his wife and three children. He rented the vehicle used in the attack at a nearby Home Depot.
Regardless of his affiliation, the States should reverse his legal status from permanent resident and all rights associated with it to No body status, before starting the prosecution.
