          The article I read was on the terrorist attack in New York City yesterday October 31. A Muslim man who claimed his allegiance to ISIS took his truck and went through a bike lane taking out multiple people and killing 8. He planned his attack for a year, and a month ago he decided to do it on Halloween because of all the trick or treaters out walking. This was the largest terrorist attack in New York City since 9/11.
