Police have announced the name of the London terrorist attack perpetrator - he was 52-year old British-born Khalid Masood of Birmingham, and a former schoolteacher. Apparently, he was born non-Muslim and became a convert to Islam.

Scotland Yard's top anti-terror officer Mark Rowley says the suspects were held overnight and he revealed the killer's birth name was Adrian Russell Ajao. Also known as Adrian Elms, he was using the name Khalid Masood at the time of the attack.
A name like that might suggest Indo-Caribbean descent, later converted to Islam.
