London terrorist attacks: Police release name of attacker (photos-videos)

Man was known to British authorities

Newsroom March 23 06:06

Police have released a statement revealing the identity of the London terror attacker who is responsible for the deaths of three people.
The individual has been identified as Khalid Masood, 52, from Kent and was known to police for a range of previous convictions including GBH, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.

Masood was first convicted in November 1983 for criminal damage and his last offence was in December 2003 for possession of a knife.
However, none of the offences have been terror related.

The attack was carried out by Masood yesterday afternoon at 2.42pm. He drove a Hyundai 4×4 – which he rented from a Birmingham Enterprise branch – over Westminster bridge, ploughing into civilians and injuring at least 40 people, many of whom were treated on site or airlifted to London hospitals.
