Police on Monday released the names of
two of the three men who carried out the high-profile attack in the
heart of London last week - but one of them was already known for his
extremist views among his neighbors and had been reported to authorities
years ago.
He had also appeared in a 2016 British television documentary called "The Jihadis Next Door."
Khuram Shazad Butt, a 27-year-old former transit worker, was apparently a sociable man. His neighbors said he invited male friends over for barbecues, and frequented a local gym and swimming pool.
But he also displayed a dark side - enough for the neighbors to call a police hotline to warn that he was an extremist.
Butt, who was killed by police during the attack Saturday, was a British citizen who was born in Pakistan. He spoke English salted with east London slang and was a fan of the Arsenal soccer team.
Erica Gasparri lives in the public housing complex where Butt resided in the east London borough of Barking. The mother of three told The Washington Post that two years ago, one of her children came home and told her, "Mummy, I want to be a Muslim so I can go to heaven."
Gasparri said, "He was trying to brainwash them."
Neighbors said Butt would not address women outside of his family. His wife often wore a full veil. He had two children.
