British police named the London Bridge attacker man as 28-year-old Usman Khan, who had been previously convicted of terrorism offences and released from prison last year
British police have shot dead a man wearing a fake suicide vest who stabbed two people to death in London and injured three more before being wrestled to the ground by bystanders, in what the authorities called a terrorist attack.
"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." Metropolitan Police Chief Cressida Dick confirmed two stabbing victims had died and three injured people were being treated in a hospital.
