[NEWS] LONDON BRIDGE ATTACK: POLICE IDENTIFY CONVICTED TERRORIST WHO MURDERED TWO VICTIMS

.

Boris Johnson has condemned the early release of criminals after it emerged that the man who carried out the latest London Bridge terror attack was a convicted Islamist who had been freed from prison on an electronic tag.

.

Two people were murdered and at least three more seriously injured when the suspected jihadist, wearing a fake suicide vest, went on a rampage at a criminal justice seminar he was attending.

.

Police named the man as Usman Khan, a 28-year-old from Staffordshire. Neil Basu, the Metropolitan Police's assistant commissioner, said his team were carrying out searches at the suspect's residence but believe that he was acting alone.

.

The Prime Minister paid tribute to the extraordinary bravery of members of the public and the emergency services who helped tackle the maniac, describing them as “the very best of our country”.

.

But he also said he had "long argued" it was a "mistake to allow serious and violent criminals to come out of prison early”.

.

He added: “It is very important that we get out of that habit and that we enforce the appropriate sentences for dangerous criminals, especially for terrorists, that I think the public will want to see."

.

Temporarily suspending his election campaign, Mr Johnson said Britain would never be “cowed, divided or intimidated” by those who brought terror to the streets and he vowed to hunt down and bring to justice anyone else involved.

.

The incident began just before 2pm on Friday when the attacker, who had been attending the Learning Together criminal justice conference at Fishmongers’ Hall on London Bridge, began stabbing fellow delegates with two large knives.

.

It is understood the former prisoner, who was still on licence and whose movements and travel were restricted, had been given permission to attend the event along with other convicted criminals.

.

The killer is thought to have attended the morning session, taking part in various workshops in which he described his experiences as a prisoner, before launching his deadly attack without warning.
