London Attacker Is Khalid Masood, 52-Year-Old Brit With Prior Criminal Convictions

After yesterday’s snafu, in which the London attacker was incorrectly named as an Islamic “hate preacher” who however turned out to be in prison at the time of the attack, moments ago UK police said that the man they believe to be responsible for the terrorist attack in Westminster yesterday has been formally identified as Khalid Masood.
Masood, aged 52 (Dec 25, 1964), was born in Kent and detectives believe he was most recently living in the West Midlands. Masood was also known by a number of aliases. Masood was not the subject of any current investigations and there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack.
