British-born 52-year-old Khalid Masood is the man authorities say left a trail of carnage through the heart of London on Wednesday. Elizabeth Pal…
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ( ISIS ) has claimed responsibility for the attack , saying Thursday that Masood was a “soldier of the caliphate,” but offering no evidence that he had prior links to or coordination with the group.
Masood was born in southeast England but was living most recently in the central part of the country, in the East Midlands.
One of the other three slain civilians, all of whom are believed to have been killed on the bridge, where Masood plowed through tourists and residents on the crowded sidewalk in a rented SUV, was Utah resident Kurt W. Cochran.
Also killed were Police Constable Keith Palmer, stabbed by the attacker just inside the gates to the Parliamentary estate, and London school administrator Aysha Frade, who was on her way to pick up her children.
