Westminster killer round-up
2017-03-26
The Daily Mail waxed lurid, reporting on Khalid Masood's massive drug sessions and prostitute binges throughout his life, at the end funded by "hundreds a month in housing benefits and income support."

The Guardian reported the police have concluded he acted alone and there were no further actions planned. Also,

A 58-year-old man arrested in Birmingham remained in custody on Saturday while a 32-year-old woman from Manchester has been released on bail.

Police are investigating media reports that Masood checked his encrypted messaging service WhatsApp – or even sent a message – just before the attack, which hinted at others being involved. The police statement confirming that he was a lone actor does not appear to support suggestions that he had been in touch with an accomplice.

Fifteen people are still being treated in hospital.

Another Guardian article explores trends, tendencies and statistical commonalities of those who commit domestic jihad attacks.

A Telegraph article dwelt on his violence, how he sought therapy for his urges to kill and was violent and controlling during his brief marriege to wife #2. But he also was devoted to one of his daughters with his first wife, spending hours at her bedside after she was hit by a truck. The girl eventually followed him into Islam, going so far as to wear a niqab.

An Nahar reports a confirmation from the Saudis:

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in London says that the Westminster attacker was in the country three times and taught English there.

A statement released late Friday says Khalid Masood taught English in Saudi Arabia from November 2005 to November 2006 and again from April 2008 to April 2009. The embassy says he had a work visa. It says he returned for six days in March 2015.

The embassy says he wasn't tracked by Saudi security services and didn't have a criminal record there.

Since I am running late with this, on Sunday morning the Daily Mail reported a raid in Birmingham on the family of children Mr. Masood took to the mosque with his own. Computers and documents were taken.
