was rachid redouane, 30 years old, also from east london. they knew him. one of the three men who murdered seven people in london on saturday night was well known to police and mi5 as an extremist. documentary voiceover: the group display the black flag of islam. khuram butt, featured in a channel 4 documentary last year on radical islamists in britain. its title — thejihadis next door. so how was he able to go on to kill until counterterrorism officers shot him dead? police have tonight confirmed the names of two of the attackers. khuram butt, a 27—year—old from a british—pakistani family. he lived in barking in east london and was married with two children including a young baby. in the last few years, he worked for kentucky fried chicken and was a customer service advisor at transport for london. less is known about rachid redouane. police and security services say he was unknown to them before the attack but is understood to be 30 years old, claiming to have a libyan or

moroccan background. until last year, he lived in dublin with a scottish partner, but according to irish prime minister enda kenny, was not known to the security services. there are a small number of people in ireland who are being monitored and observed in respect of radicalisation and matters relevant to that. in this case, these facts are being checked but my understanding is that this individual was not a member of that small group. why you touching him for? khuram butt, though, was very much on the uk security services‘ radar and there will be serious questions about how someone with such well—known extremist views was able to carry out a murderous attack on the streets of london. security barriers appeared on some london bridges overnight as london bridge itself reopened to people and traffic heading in and out of the square mile. london is getting back to normal. this bunch of flowers almost the only sign of the carnage

as well as thousands of ordinary londoners attended a vigil in a public park this evening, just a short distance from where the attacks occurred. as a proud and patriotic british muslim, i say this, you do not commit these disgusting acts in my name. applause. and you will never succeed in dividing our city. people came to remember, to you unite and to give thanks. —— to unite. but if they also came to seek answers as to how this attack could have happened, tonight, there seemed to be more questions. mark easton, bbc, news, london bridge. scotland yard is saying that all 12 people arrested so far in connection with the london bridge attack have been released,

now, without charge. but police have continued to search properties connected to the attackers. our special correspondent ed thomas has the latest on the investigation. more raids and more searches. this was a garage in east london this morning, surrounded by police. and for a second day, forensic teams look for clues inside the home of one of the three london attackers. this man, khuram butt. he was 27 and a father of two young children. born in pakistan, raised in london. he worked on the london underground before turning to islamist extremism. my kids just loved to play with him. this lady is a neighbour who said that he was well—known but now she feels fooled. he was nice to the kids. he was kind. he was always buying treats for the kids. always sharing.

police as an extremist. he wasn't happy with how women were dressed. he wanted women to wear hijabs. this teenager knew khuram butt, they would talk in parks and in a nearby mosque. he didn't want to show his face and asked us to protect his identity. he would talk about syria, obviously, afghanistan, they are getting bombed, and people don't have places to live. he said that they would debate syria, iraq and islamic state. you think he was trying to radicalise you? not sure. i wouldn't want to turn out like a bad person and going to different countries and then killing people. i wouldn't, like, want to do that kind of thing. tonight, the searches continue to reveal the truth behind an enemy within. the mayor of london, sadiq khan,

is saying he won't allow donald trump to divide communities, in the wake of saturday's attack, after the us president again criticised him on twitter. mr trump accused the mayor of making a "pathetic excuse" for telling londoners there was no reason to be alarmed. in fact, he'd said people shouldn't be concerned by the deployment of additional armed police on the streets. with us now is corey brettschneider, a professor of political science at brown university. he joins us from new york. this does seem a curious way to treat one of america's biggest allies, biggest allied countries. yes. i have to say this is a time to show solidarity with the people of london and the people of england, and what donald trump has done is really a n and what donald trump has done is really an embarrassment, i think in the united states. it is the opposite... it revives a rivalry with the mayor of london at a time we should be standing together. why do you think he has done is? the two do you think he has done is? the two do have a beef, previously, dayday? the mayor of london previously

to be another discussion about a tweet for six minutes, then really, again, it is something unseemly. but the president was making a valid point. we have twojettison political correctness. we have two apply honesty to be straight. —— to. it isa apply honesty to be straight. —— to. it is a pollyanna—ish attitude to a threat which has killed 170 people in the last year in europe alone. and maimed more than 700. this needs to be dealt with honestly. where theirfair points in a? to be dealt with honestly. where their fair points in a? no. and donald trump echoes of what was there. —— there. he originally said there. —— there. he originally said the result of a man, not be watered down, second one that he signed, and
