British police name the man who stabbed two people to death in London in what the authorities call a terrorist attack as 28-year-old Usman Khan, who was previously convicted of terrorism offences
Police and emergency vehicles gather near London Bridge in London, on November 29, 2019 after reports of shots being fired on London Bridge.
"This individual was known to authorities, having been convicted in 2012 for terrorism offences," said Britain's top counter-terrorism police officer Neil Basu in a statement. Health officials said one of the injured was in critical but stable condition, one was stable and the third had less serious injuries.
The attacker’s history will raise difficult questions for Britain’s government and security services. Basu, the London police counterterrorism head, said police were not actively looking for any other suspects.Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he had "long argued" that it was a "mistake to allow serious and violent criminals to come out of prison early.”
The violence erupted less than two weeks before Britain holds a national election. The main political parties temporarily suspended campaigning in London as a mark of respect. Minutes after the stabbings report, witnesses saw a man with a knife being wrestled to the ground by members of the public on the bridge before armed-response officers shot him dead.
