PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS

Police have correctly named the suspect in yesterday’s terror
attack in Westminster as 52-year-old Khalid Masood who was known to
authorities for previous crimes unrelated to terrorism
Yesterday
the BBC channel 4 jumped the gun and incorrectly named the suspect as
a “hate preacher” “Abu Izzadeen” that statement was then
retracted after they found out that Izzadeen was in jail.
Today
the Scotland Yard formally announced the man’s identity and noted,
“there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a
terrorist attack.”
Scotland
Yard investigators also said that Masood had a number of different
aliases that he used nd believed that he was born in Kent, but most
recently lived in the West Midlands.
He
also had a “range of previous convictions for assaults, including
GBH, possession of offensive weapons and public order offenses,” a
MET statement said.
His
first conviction was in November 1983 for criminal damage, and his
last conviction was in December 2003 for possession of a knife.
So
far three out of the five victims killed by Masood have been named.
U.S.
tourist Kurt Cochran, college worker Aysha Frade and police officer
PC Keith Palmer were killed when the man used his vehicle as a
battering ram and then proceeded to get out stabbing and injuring 30
others.
