London Attack: The third terrorist, a Moroccan of Italian mother also signed

1:07 PM

British police have confirmed the name of the third London Bridge terrorist in an attack that ended Saturday with the trio gunned down by police at the Borough Market after killing seven people and wounding half a hundred. They are Youssef Zaghba, the son of an Italian and a Moroccan and born in Fez, recently employed in a restaurant in London.

Like his two comrades in the terrorist attack had been on the radar of the security forces. According to "IlCorriere della Sera", in March 2016 he was arrested in Bologna for attempting to travel to Syria. The Italian intelligence services then informed those of Morocco and the United Kingdom and included it in their antiterrorist files.

The other two London terrorists are 27-year-old Khuram Shazad Butt, with traces of being the ringleader of the group, and Rachid Redouane, 30, a Libyan-Moroccan resident of the Barking neighborhood in East London. Redounae had lived in Ireland, married there with a Londoner with whom he had a son, and carried Irish documentation at the time of the attack.

Butt's case has caused a major dust in the UK, because it had come to appear last year as one of the protagonists of a Channel 4 television documentary titled "The Jihadists of the Door Beside." Dressed in robes and uncovered, they displayed before the cameras a black flag like the Daesh in the London park of Rengent's Park. He was also reported to the police by a mother who accused him of attempting to proselytize Salafi with his son and by an acquaintance alarmed by his extremist ideas.

MI5 investigated it but let it run. It has even been revealed that last year she worked for a few months on the tube at Westminster station, located in the neuralgic area of ​​British power, on foot of Parliament and very close to the Foreing Office and the residence of the prime minister.
In the three jihadist attacks that the UK has suffered in just ten weeks, the same police error has been repeated: terrorists were once monitored by security forces, but then ignored them. The Government alleges that 3,000 suspects are constantly being monitored in 500 investigations, but that there are 20,000 more individuals and the task is enormous. Interior recalls that since 2013 the police and the MI5 abort 18 terrorist attacks, five since the Westminster Bridge on March 22.

Terrorism is already polarizing the campaign. The mayor of London, Labor Muslim Sadiq Khan, has criticized this morning that the police stopped controlling Butt.
