British police have named two of the three terrorists who carried out the London Bridge attack as Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane, local media reported.

Butt, 27, who was born in Pakistan, lived in east London with his wife and children for years.

He was even once featured in a BBC documentary about Islamist extremists.

The other attacker Rachid Redouane,30, was known to police but with no intelligence suggesting an attack.

The three attackers were shot dead by police on Saturday in the London Bridge attack when they killed seven people and injured 48.
