Update! New York terrorist celebrated deadly Manhattan truck attack while at hospital: "He feels accomplished"

New York terrorist celebrated deadly Manhattan truck attack while at hospital: "He feels accomplished" 

The terrorist who plowed his rental truck into pedestrians and cyclists in Lower Manhattan, killing 8, was celebrating the deadly attack while at the hospital, sources said Wednesday.
Sayfullo Saipov, 29, who pledged allegiance to ISIS, was said to be in critical but stable condition after a sharp-shooting NYPD cop put a bullet in his abdomen following the Halloween assault.  He was rejoicing in his room at Bellevue Hospital after killing eight people and injuring 13 others along the Hudson River on Tuesday.
"He’s talking. He’s laughing. He’s very happy with what he did," said a source who was briefed by a hospital staffer on the floor. "He feels accomplished."
A second source said Saipov, in his interviews with investigators, showed "no remorse" and was "glad that he did what he set out to do."
NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Counterterrorism, John Miller said Saipov planned the attack "for a number of weeks".
Miller added: "He seemed to have followed almost to a T the instructions ISIS had put out on how to carry out a truck-borne attack".
Investigators found at the scene the paintball and pellet guns Saipov was brandishing. In and around his rented Home Depot truck, they discovered multiple knives and a handwritten note in Arabic.
Miller said: "The gist of the note was, 'The Islamic State would endure forever'".
Saipov is a native of Uzbekistan. He arrived in the U.S. in March 2010, authorities said. He was never the subject of an FBI or NYPD investigation but he was reportedly on the radar of the authorities. Saipov was in fact interviewed by federal agents in 2015 in connection with a probe of terror suspects who overstayed their tourists visas, ABC News reported.
In the hours before the attack, Saipov spoke via cellphone to people in Florida and New Jersey. Investigators are still working to determine if the calls had anything to do with his sinister plans, sources said.

Earlier in the day, Gov. Cuomo said that Saipov was radicalized in the U.S. in the last seven years.

"(A)fter he came to the United States is when he started to become informed about ISIS and radical Islamic tactics," Cuomo said on CNN. "Again, ISIS has gotten it down to a simple formula that they can put on the internet and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to rent a car, rent a truck. But they are cowards and they are depraved."
The suspect lived in an apartment in Paterson, New Jersey with his wife, two young daughters and infant son, neighbors said. He was known as a genial family man who largely kept to himself.
"He always seemed pleasant every time I seen him, nothing out of the ordinary that would be shocking,” said a 32-year-old neighbor who identified himself as Keith.

Altana Dimitrovska, 63, said she often saw Saipov in the morning bringing one of his kids to kindergarten.
She said: "I spoke to him once. 'I said, 'Do you go to work, or anything?' Because I never saw him go to work."
Saipov said yes but didn’t elaborate, she recalled.
He moved to New Jersey after stints in Ohio and Florida where he was known as a pleasant guy who showed no interest in radical Islam.

"He was a very good person when I knew him," Kobiljon Matkarov, 37, of Fort Myers, Fla., told the New York Times.
"He liked the U.S. He seemed very lucky, and all the time he was happy and talking like everything is OK. He did not seem like a terrorist, but I did not know him from the inside."
After arriving in the U.S. from the Uzbekistan capital of Tashkent, 

Saipov settled in the Cincinnati area. He lived with a fellow Uzbeki family before eventually moving to Florida. His father in Uzbekistan had asked the family patriarch to house his son while the younger Saipov tried to get his green card, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"He was really calm," Dilnoza Abdusamatova, who was a teenager when Saipov moved into her family’s townhouse, told The Enquirer. "He always used to work. He wouldn’t go to parties or anything. He only used to come home and rest and leave and go back to work."

Saipov got married to his wife, an Uzbek named Nozima Odilova, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in March 2013. At the time, he was 25 and she was 19, according to CNN. Saipov’s wife was cooperating with authorities and has denied having prior knowledge of the attack. But investigators have yet to rule that out, sources said. His mother-in-law, Nodira Agzomova, said she was stunned by Saipov’s crime.
"I'm in shock ... can't believe it," Agzomova said in the lobby of her Brooklyn building.
