British police have named the third London Bridge attacker as 22-year-old Youssef Zaghba and said he is believed to be an Italian national of Moroccan descent.
This is what we know about the terrorist Khuram Shazad Butt, who was one of three that carried out the deadly London Bridge attack on Saturday night.
A second attacker, Rachid Redouane, 30, has been named by police. Neighbors told police that Butt had lived in an apartment in Barking with his wife and young children, including a newborn.
Khuram Butt, a 27-year-old father of two, had been known to police.
It emerged that Butt, born to Pakistani immigrants reportedly from Jhelum, was a supporter of the banned Islamist group al-Muhajiroun.
Khuram Shazad Butt, one of the three London Bridge attackers, was allowed to work at Westminster Tube station, even after he featured in a TV documentary about British jihadists in which he prayed to a black flag in Regent's Park. The third was identified on Tuesday.
Butt's friends and neighbours spoke about their interactions with him, and reports said his family's hotel in Pakistan had been searched.
Redouane, who claimed to be Moroccan and Libyan, but whose citizenship has not been confirmed, had not been known to the security agencies.
Police arrested 12 people on Sunday in Barking, east London, but said late on Monday all had been released without charge.
A nationwide minute of silence was held at 11 a.m. (1000 GMT) to honour all the victims.
- Unlike Butt, Redouane was not previously known to authorities.
Police have arrested at least 13 people in connection to the attack.

It had been set at "critical" in the days after the Manchester concert bombing on May 22 that killed 22 people - reflecting a judgment that an attack might be imminent because accomplices with similar bombs might be on the loose.
