From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro. This is The Daily.

Today, the driver in Tuesday's attack came to the US seven years ago through a lottery

program intended to diversify the country.

Sounds nice, the president said. It is not nice. It is not good. It's Thursday, November 2nd.

Michael Schwartz, give us the profile of this attacker that you're starting to put together,

Saifulo Saipov. What do we know about him and when did he come to the US?

He arrived in the United States, he arrived through JFK in 2010. He had won the Green Card

lottery, which gave him automatic permanent residence in the United States.

Before that, he had worked at a hotel in his hometown of Tashkent, which is the capital of Uzbekistan.

He had finished a financial college there, grew up in that town.

And as far as we know from the Uzbek government, he lived a fairly quiet life, stayed out of trouble,

didn't have a criminal record, never raised any suspicions.

And what do we know about his life when he first arrived?

We know that he started setting out to get a job. He made his way to Ohio to a town called Stowe,

where he set himself up as a truck driver and got linked up with the local Uzbek population.

There's a large Uzbek population in Stowe. He went to Moscow on Fridays, was a member of the community.

He got married there. Somebody described him as an average guy. He didn't stand out in many ways.

Other than the fact that he seems to have had quite a quick temper, which everybody described.

He was very argumentative at gatherings at the mosque. People describe the mosque environment as a place where people debated politics all the time,

but it was always civil. Not with him, he would get frustrated, he would get angry.

And people knew not to cross his temper.

Michael, you mentioned a large population of Uzbeks in this part of Ohio. What do we need to know about that community in the US?
