Several media outlets reported that the identity of the UK House of Parliament attacker is Abu Izzadeen - also known as Trevor Brooks - a hate preacher from Clapton in Hackney.
The outlets reported the above information with pictures of the suspected attacker.
However, several conflicting reports show that Abu Izzadeen is in jail serving a two-year sentance since last January.
Al Arabiya cannot confirm the authenticity of the information reported.
Jamaican national?
According to the police chief of counterterrorism Mark Rowley reported by Agencies, the unknown attacker is “Asian” as we can see in the enhanced picture. But English newspaper “The Independent” reported on its website that it may be the Jamaican national Abu Izzadeen known as Trevor Brooks in Britain, where he was born 42 years ago.
However, a correspondent for ABC News reported that he had spoken to Abu Izzadeen’s lawyer, saying that Abu Izzadeen is still serving his sentence in a prison in London. “So it couldn’t have been him,” as stated by the official spokesman for the Gurabaa organization established by the Lebanese - Syrian Omar Bakri Mohammed, currently living in Lebanon after being expelled from Britain. Al Arabiya reported the news published by the independent based on “reports that it didn’t hear about.”
