Remember how Spain is always filing human rights violations in their courts against Chinese leaders for moving against independence movements in China...

8 dead after truck plows into people in New York City in 'cowardly act of terror': Mayor
A man driving a rental truck plowed into pedestrians and cyclists on a jogging and bike path in lower Manhattan in New York City Tuesday afternoon, killing at least eight people and injuring many others in what New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called a "cowardly act of terror."
The sprawling crime scene runs about 10 blocks along the West Side Highway, a few blocks away from One World Trade Center. "Everybody started running," one witness said.
A suspect was apprehended at the scene. Multiple law enforcement officials told ABC News that the suspect in custody was identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov of Tampa, Florida.
The suspect is reported to have screamed "Allahu Akbar" after the crash, and that is a key reason authorities are looking at terrorism as a possible motive, sources said.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there was no evidence of a wider, ongoing threat but he said more police would be monitoring the streets on Halloween night.
The city's annual Halloween parade in the West Village, which is near the crime scene, will still take place tonight, officials said.
The deadly incident began at about 3:05 p.m., when the vehicle -- a Home Depot rental truck, according to the company -- entered the West Street pedestrian and bike path north of Chambers Street, hitting multiple people on the path, leaving some dead and "numerous people injured," New York City police said.
At Chambers Street, the truck collided with a school bus, injuring two adults and two children, police said.
After the collision, the truck driver exited the vehicle brandishing what appeared to be two handguns, police said. A uniformed police officer confronted the suspect and shot him in the abdomen, police said.
Police Commissioner James O'Neill in a press conference later credited that officer with stopping the carnage.
The suspect was wounded and transported to a hospital, police said.
A paintball gun and a pellet gun were recovered at the scene, police said.
Six of the deceased victims were pronounced dead at the scene; two more died at a nearby hospital.
Police said 11 were wounded with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A witness described the chaotic scene to ABC's New York station WABC, saying that after the truck hit multiple people on the bike path, it crashed into a school bus at Chambers and West streets, near Stuyvesant High School.
"Everybody started running," the witness said. "... Everything was happening so fast."
The witness added of the driver, "He kept going all the way down full speed."
"Thank God the trick-or-treaters weren't out yet," the witness later said.
Video from the scene showed mangled bicycles strewn across the bike path.

I'm obviously late due to the time difference so just the headline:
Note found in truck claims Manhattan attack done for ISIS, source says
I frequent that area myself. Fortunately it was still during the workday when this terrorist attacked so it was nowhere near as crowded as it often is. Obviously 9/11 couldn't intimidate us, neither can this.
