The male suspect in the London Bridge stabbing has been identified as Usman Khan, 28, a convicted terrorist who was released in 2018, according to Neil Basu, assistant commissioner for the Metropolitan Police.
Two people were killed and three others hospitalized after they were stabbed in a terror attack near the London Bridge Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Khan"had been residing in the Staffordshire area. As a result, officers are, tonight, carrying out searches at an address in Staffordshire," Basu said in a statement."This individual was known to authorities, having been convicted in 2012 for terrorism offences. He was released from prison in December 2018 on licence and clearly, a key line of enquiry now is to establish how he came to carry out this attack.
Police were called to the scene at 1:58 p.m. local time. The suspect was confronted five minutes later, police said.
