LONDON — British police on Monday named two of the three Islamist extremists who killed seven people and injured 48 others in terrorist attacks in London on Saturday. <br /> <br />Khuram Butt, 27, was a British citizen born in Pakistan. His 30-year-old accomplice Rachid Redouane was of Moroccan-Libyan descent. Both men were from Barking in East London. <br /> <br />Butt, Redouane, and a third unnamed man were shot dead by police as they carried out a knife attack at Borough Market after driving a rented van into pedestrians on London Bridge. <br /> <br />Butt was known to Britain’s MI5 intelligence service and the police, the Independent reported. He was married with two children, including a newborn. <br /> <br />Butt appeared in a 2016 documentary called “The Jihadis Next Door”, in which he was seen praying to a black Islamic flag. <br /> <br />Butt reportedly had jobs with Transport for London and KFC, and was a keen supporter of Arsenal soccer club. He was wearing the team’s jersey during the attacks. <br /> <br />Neighbors told the Guardian that Butt was friendly, polite and a good father. However, others said they had reported him to the police for preaching extremist Islamist views to their children. <br /> <br />Police arrested 12 people in connection with the attacks but all have been released without charge.
