The attacker, named by police as 28-year-old Usman Khana(Pic-L), a former prisoner convicted of terrorism offences, was out of prison on licence at the time of the attack, in which a man and a woman were killed and three others were injured.
Although Usman Khan was originally classed as never to be released unless deemed no longer a threat but this condition was later lifted. He was freed in licence, with an electronic tag, in December 2018 after serving 7 years , out of 16 years sentence, behind bars.
Usman khan seized the opportunity to commit the attack while invited to Cambridge University-backed prison education program ‘ Learning Together’ holding a conference there on Friday 11/29/2019.
** I.S.I.S has claimed, on Saturday 11/30/2019 evening through related social media, responsibility for the attack but it is not clear if there was really an operational connection between the perpetrator Usman Khan and the Jihadi organization .
