[T]he Met’s Counter Terrorism Command has released the name and photograph of the third attacker shot dead by police following the terrorist attacks on London Bridge and at Borough Market on Saturday.
While formal identification is yet to take place, detectives believe he is 22-year-old Youssef Zaghba, from east London. The deceased’s family have been informed.
He is believed to be an Italian national of Moroccan dissent. He was not a police or MI5 subject of interest.

He also used the name Rachid Elkhdar, with a different date of birth of 31.7.91.
