US President Donald Trump has repeated calls for the suspect in the New York truck attack to get the death penalty.
But Mr Trump backed away from his call a day earlier to send Sayfullo Saipov to Guantanamo Bay, saying "that process takes much longer".
The suspect, who allegedly drove along a Manhattan cycle path killing eight people, told police he "felt good" about Tuesday's Halloween attack.
Later, so-called Islamic State (IS) said it had carried out the attack.
The attacker was "one of the caliphate soldiers", it said in its weekly al-Naba newspaper, without providing evidence to support the claim.
