New York truck attack: Who is Sayfullo Saipov?
An Islamic extremist who killed eight people when he intentionally sped a lorry down a New York City bike path has been convicted of murder.
Sayfullo Saipov, 34, shouted "God is great" in Arabic as he emerged from the truck during the rampage in Manhattan.
The Uzbekistan native was shot by police, and asked to hang an Islamic State group flag at his hospital bed.
Saipov could now face the death penalty for what was the city's deadliest terrorist attack since 9/11 .
