The FBI put out a wanted poster for an Uzbek national labelled a “person of interest” in Tuesday’s terror attack — but called off the search an hour later.
“We believed he had information related to yesterday. But we are not looking for that individual any longer,” FBI honcho Bill Sweeney said Wednesday evening.
“We have found him and I’ll leave it at that.”
The agency had earlier issued the poster for Mukhammadzoir Kadirov, 32, saying it was seeking information about him.
“Law enforcement officials are seeking the public’s assistance with information about Mukhammadzoir Kadirov in relation to the deadly attack in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City, New York, on October 31, 2017,” the poster reads.
On Tuesday, Uzbek-born terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov plowed a rented truck into cyclists and pedestrians on a bike path along the West Side highway, killing eight people, according to police.
