ISIS Says New York Attacker Is 'Soldier of the Caliphate'

A propaganda arm of the Islamic State group is calling the man charged in the New York City truck rampage a "soldier of the caliphate."

A message in an Islamic State weekly newspaper used the term in an item published late Thursday. That item then was translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.

The Islamic State group has an interest in taking credit for attacks carried out by individuals who are self-radicalized.
