Detectives are exploring the past of the middle-aged murderer of many aliases who wrought carnage on Westminster, as arrests connected to the outrage were made across the country.
Khalid Masood has been identified as the individual who drove at pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing his hire car and stabbing to death Pc Keith Palmer at the gates to the Houses of Parliament.
Five people were killed in the attack, including Masood and Mr Palmer.
Paramedics fought to save the life of the attacker, and that of Pc Palmer on the floor of the cobbled courtyard just yards from the House of Commons. Both were later confirmed dead. Two large knives could be seen at the scene.
Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood was among those who rushed to help. Mr Ellwood, who lost his brother in the Bali bombing, was seen pumping the officer’s chest then standing above him, his hands and face smeared with blood.
Who was the attacker?
Police say a 52-year-old British-born man called Khalid Masood is responsible, however his birth name is understood to be Adrian Elms.
Born in Kent, he has lived a nomadic existence including stints on the south coast, Kent and Luton. Detectives believe he was most recently living in the West Midlands and was known by a number of aliases, including Khalid Chaudry.
They think he acted alone, although they are investigating possible associates.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) terror group claimed he was one of its “soldiers” in a statement released through its Aamaq news agency on Thursday.
Isil has been explicitly threatening attacks on Britain for the past 18 months. At the end of a propaganda video claiming the Paris attacks in November 2015, Isil singled out the UK as its next target.
However, commentators have pointed out the group had a record of opportunistically claiming attacks and it was significant the statement did not appear to claim it had directed the strike.
Was he known to police?
Masood was not the subject of any current investigations and there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack, Scotland Yard said.
However, he was known to police and has a range of previous convictions for assaults, including GBH, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.
His first conviction was in November 1983 for criminal damage and his last conviction was in December 2003 for possession of a knife.
He has not been convicted for any terrorism offences.
It is understood that Masood went to jail for his offences, where there is a good chance he was radicalised. It is at that stage, it is thought, he came onto MI5’s radar.
The Times understands that Masood spent time in Lewes jail, East Sussex, Wayland, Norfolk, and Ford open prison, West Sussex.
The Sun, meanwhile, claims it has obtained Masood’s CV, which is said to state that in 2005 he was working in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, then teaching workers at the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in Jeddah. This has to be confirmed.
Mrs May told the Commons earlier, prior to the man being identified: “What I can confirm is that the man was British-born and that some years ago he was once investigated by MI5 in relation to concerns about violent extremism.
“He was a peripheral figure. The case is historic. He was not part of the current intelligence picture. There was no prior intelligence of his intent or of the plot.”
How many arrests have there been?
Eight people, including three women and five men, have been arrested so far, and six addresses raided across London, Birmingham and elsewhere on Wednesday night.
The Birmingham raid took place on the Hagley Road, a mile or so southwest of Birmingham city centre at 11pm. Neighbours said more than a dozen black-clad police stormed a flat on the road with machine guns.
One witness, who works in a shop near the second-floor flat, said: “The man from London lived here.” He added: “They came and arrested three men.”
Searches continued at the flat on Thursday after it emerged the killer’s car had been hired nearby.
According to The Sun, Masood spent the night before the attack at the Preston Park Hotel in Brighton, which police investigated on Wednesday night.
Hotel staff told the Press Association: “We have been instructed not to talk.”
A house in Carmarthenshire, south-west Wales, was also searched, Dyfed-Powys Police said.
Masood’s mother lives in a farm in west Wales, the Daily Mail reported.
What do we know about the car?
On Thursday, car-hire firm Enterprise confirmed the Hyundai 4×4 used in the attack was one of its vehicles after an employee recognised the numberplate in online photos.
The car is understood to have been rented from a branch in Stratford, Shirley, in Solihull, just eight miles (13km) from the scene of the flat raid.
In a statement, Enterprise said: “We can confirm that the car used in the tragic attack in London was one of ours.”
Who are the dead?
Pc Keith Palmer
Pc Palmer, 48, was a husband and father, and had worked for the Metropolitan Police for 15 years, having previously served in the armed forces.
Conservative MP James Cleverly paid tribute to the “lovely man” he had known for a quarter of a century. “I’ve known Keith for 25 years. We served together in the Royal Artillery before he became a copper,” he wrote.
“A lovely man, a friend. I’m heartbroken. My thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of PC Keith Palmer. A brave man.”
Aysha Frade
Spanish teacher and department head Aysha Frade, 43, worked at DLD College, London and was married with two daughters.
She was believed to have been crossing Westminster Bridge to pick up her children aged eight and 11 from school when she lost her life in the attack.
According to Spanish newspaper La Voz de Galicia, the woman had always lived in London, where her parents met. Her father was of Cypriot origin while her mother was born in Betanzos in northwestern Spain.
According to La Voz, the woman often spent her holidays with her family back in the town.
