Photo: ReutersNew York's governor said a knife attack by an assailant who burst into a party at an Hasidic rabbi's home and stabbed five people was an act of domestic terrorism. "This is terrorism, it is domestic terrorism," Cuomo told reporters. He said he wanted New York to become the first United States state to have a domestic terrorism law. Another attack took place in Monsey in November when a man walking to a synagogue was stabbed multiple times, according to media reports. Six months before that, a gunman killed 11 worshipers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in US history.
