Third suspect reportedly Italian-Moroccan

Italy's main newspapers named the suspect as Youssef Zaghba, 22, the son of an Italian mother, from Bologna.

A terror attack in London on June 3, 2017 left seven people dead and dozens injured

Italy's main newspapers named the suspect as Youssef Zaghba, 22, the son of an Italian mother, from Bologna, and a Moroccan father, who had passports from both countries.

British police have confirmed the identity of two of the three attackers but had been retaining the name of the third while investigations into possible accomplices and contacts continued.

The Italian reports said Zaghba was intercepted at Bologna airport last year as he was about to board a plane for Turkey, with the apparent intention of joining Islamic State militants fighting in Syria.

Police reportedly found IS propoganda videos on his cell phone but, after an investigation, failed to find sufficient evidence of links to terrorism to prosecute him and he was released.

According to the reports, Zaghba's status as a potential militant was notified to the British and Moroccan secret services.

A London police spokesman said: "We haven't released anything at the moment, nor are we confirming anything but as soon as we are ready to name him, it will be on our website. We're hoping to get that out soon."
