US president Donald Trump called the driver who killed eight people in New York City this afternoon a "sick and deranged person," then offered his
condolences to those affected by the attack.
"In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE
U.S.A.!"
The attack took place on a bike path on Manhattan's West Side just after 3 p.m. The suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, 29, of Tampa, Florida, was taken into
custody. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared the incident a "cowardly
act of terror" at a press conference.
The president later posted another tweet to offer his "thoughts, condolences and prayers to the victims and families" affected by the attack. "God and your
country are with you!" he said.

The president also tweeted: "We must not allow ISIS to return, or enter, our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere. Enough!"

The White House later released an official statement from the president on the attack.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of today’s terrorist attack in New York City and their families. My administration will provide its full
support to the New York City Police Department, including through a joint
investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation," the statement said. "We
offer our thanks to the first responders who stopped the suspect and rendered
immediate aid to the victims of this cowardly attack. These brave men and women
embody the true American spirit of resilience and courage. I will continue to
follow developments closely."
Shortly after Trump's first tweet, Vice President Mike Pence added that he was "saddened by the tragedy in NYC" and that "those responsible must be held
accountable."

ATHENS, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Greece commemorated on Saturday the 196th anniversary of the 1821 war of independence against the 400-year Ottoman rule
with the annual military parade in the center of Athens and student parades
across the country.
In their statements for the day Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos, Defense Minister Panos Kammenos and opposition parties referred to Greece's efforts for
Europe's unity and the current challenges to overcome the economic crisis.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, Pavlopoulos stressed Greece's European path and the need for unity.
"Our ancestors, just before the start of the revolution, appealed to the European nations for freedom. We send them today the message that Greece has
decided irrevocably to belong to the EU and its hardcore, the Eurozone,"
Pavlopoulos said after the end of the military parade in front of the
parliament.
"For Greece to be outside Europe is inconceivable, while the EU would never be the same without Greece," he added.
Thousands of Greek citizens attended the celebrations of the Independence Day in the center of Athens commemorating war heroes and waving Greek national flags
during the military parade.
In front of the Tomb of the Unknown Hero, mechanized units and foot soldiers marched, while flights of Armed Forces aircrafts and helicopters flashed above
the crowd.
"The celebration of March 25 anniversary means a lot of things for all the Greeks," Dimitris from the southern Greece city of Kalamata who
