During the briefing, Rowley also confirmed that the identity of the terrorist is aware of officials. He stated that it was too early to call his name. During the investigation, special services are trying to identify the people and possible accomplices related to them. The commissar only indicated that the investigation considers the attacker associated with international terrorist groups.

One of the first information that Abu Izzdin was committed was published by The Independent . An hour later, the material was removed. The Channel 4 TV channel also reported the identity of the suspect.

At the same time, several sources of the Air Force stated that the well-known radical Muslim preacher was still serving a sentence in prison and, accordingly, someone else made an attack.

It should be noted that Izzdin is similar to a wounded man whose photo was published by the Sky News television company: next to him, journalists noticed two knives, concluding that doctors provide assistance to a shot terrorist.

Izzdin, who is often called the "preacher of hatred", was repeatedly seen in statements that justify terrorism and radical Islam.

In 2006, Abu Izzadin interrupted the performance of the British Foreign Minister John Raid, who called on his parents to carefully monitor their children in connection with the possible “brainwashing” by accomplices of terrorists. Izzdin shouted at the raid, calling him the "enemy of Islam" and pointing to the depravity of the anti -terrorist measures of the government. He was brought out by security services.

In April 2007, he was detained by the police on charges of financing terrorist organizations abroad, a year later he was sentenced to imprisonment.

Journalists noticed that the attack in London occurred on the anniversary of the attacks in Brussels , where mourning events were held the day before. On March 22, 2016, two explosions thundered at the Belgian Capital International Airport. The third explosion occurred a little later in the metro car at the Malbek station. As a result of terrorist attacks, 32 people were killed, more than 300 were injured. The responsibility for the attack was taken by the Islamic State terrorist group*.

"In the light of today's (March 22) events, it was decided to postpone the queen's tomorrow (March 23) meetings in Scotland Yard (headquarters of the London police in Westminster. - Approx.
