Pro-ISIS channels have been sharing propaganda praising the New York terror attacker after he killed eight people in Manhattan yesterday.
Posters commemorating the attack were uploaded online featuring images of the Statue of Liberty exploding and pictures of the carnage caused by 29-year-old Uzbek terrorist Sayfullo Saipov.
While some praised Saipov’s actions – calling him a ‘brother’ – others mocked the low death toll and said they ‘would have picked a bigger street’.
A selection of images and messages from anonymous text app Telegram were shared online by New York Times ISIS corespondent Rukmini Callimachi.
ISIS has not yet claimed responsibility for the New York attack, though police reportedly found a note near the van he used which mentioned the terror group.
In its monthly magazine, ISIS has advised attackers to leave notes at the scene pledging their allegiance so they can claim the attack.
