The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday it is seeking a second Uzbek man in relation to the New York attack that killed eight people on a cycling and jogging path.

The FBI identified the man as Mukhammadzoir Kadirov, 32, saying it was "seeking information... in relation to the deadly attack in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City" on Tuesday.

In that attack, Uzbek native and US permanent resident Sayfullo Saipov, 29, drove a truck through cyclists and pedestrians, killing eight and injuring 12. Officials said Saipov left notes in Arabic with references to the Islamic State group.
