British police have named a British-born man as the person behind yesterday's (thursday) deadly Westminster attack in London. Khalid Masood killed four people and injured almost 40 others when he drove a car into a crowd of pedestrians before fatally stabbing a police officer. Police then shot him dead. Police have now carried out a number of raids across London and Birmingham, arresting eight people for questioning, but say they believe the attacker acted alone. IBC TV, Head of English News, Karunakharan Pathmanathan explains to Renuka.
