London Bridge: Attacker had been convicted of terror offence

(BBC) The man who carried out the stab attack at London Bridge on Friday, named by police as Usman Khan, had previously been jailed for terrorism offences.

Khan, 28, was wearing a GPS police tag and was out of prison on licence when he launched his attack, in which a man and a woman were killed and three others were injured.

Khan was shot dead by officers after members of the public restrained him.

The queen said she was “saddened” by the attack.

She thanked the emergency services “as well as the brave individuals who put their own lives at risk to selflessly help and protect others.”
