Attack victims honored as investigators seek answers

NEW YORK - The eight people killed in a truck driver's rampage were honored by friends and strangers on Thursday with a nighttime walk down the riverfront esplanade where the victims died as both investigators and terror-weary New Yorkers tried to make sense of the crime.

Some of the marchers carried candles as city lights twinkled on the water. Others pushed bicycles in solitary with the victims, who were cut down on the long bike path that runs the length of Manhattan's Hudson River waterfront.

The mourners included Harry Kassen, a student at the Manhattan school where one of the victims, Nicholas Cleves, 23, worked part-time.
