Prime Minister Theresa May today said the attack was an “attack on the free world,” while London mayor Sadiq Khan said it was “perverse” and that the ideology followed by the attackers had “no place in Islam.”
The national threat level remains on high, indicating that another attack is likely. Police presence has been heightened in certain parts of London.
According to Assistant Comissioner Mark Rowley, Butt was known to the police, but there was no evidence of planning an attack. Comissioner Rowley added, “‘The security and intelligence services and police have stopped 18 plots since 2013, including five since the Westminster attack two months ago.”
Police have urged anyone with information to report any suspicious information by calling 0800 789321, or in an emergency calling 999.
