The suspect in today’s deadly terrorist attack in London was initially named as Abu Izzadeen:

Channel 4 News says it has confirmed the attacker was Trevor Brooks aka Abu Izzadeen, well known to the security services and the media.

But now, they’re not so sure it’s him:

No, C4 News have now said that it is not him.
