This is the man being fingered by multiple reports on Twitter (including from La Stampa, an Italian media outlet) as the man behind today’s cowardly and heinous attack on the UK Parliament in London. Reports are also stating that the attacker has died.

This seems to have been seconded by a report from a cameraman on the scene. Again, at this point, it’s still unconfirmed:

How come he’s well known, you ask? Well, it’s because of stuff like this…

“Kill the British police” was his refrain here. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened today as one officer was killed while trying to stop the attacker.
The policeman who was stabbed has died. Doing his duty for all of us. Heartbreaking.

As the cameraman said, Brooks is indeed well known to police…for a good reason.
More on this as it comes in…
UPDATE: Again, these are unconfirmed reports at this time…
Suspect being named by many on Twitter as the #London attacker was sentenced to jail in January. Might not be him. https://t.co/q6OZ8zoYqS

Yet, we’re still seeing conflicting reports. Needless to say, someone is wrong here…
Trevor Brooks aka Abu Izzadeen's solicitor confirms to me that he is still in jail and cld not have been the attacker today at #Westminster

The MoJ have just refused to confirm to @LBC is Brooks is still in jail. Referred us to Met Police. https://t.co/ZyNI5JpBta
— Chris Hemmings (@Hemmch) March 22, 2017
Met Police say "it's nothing to do with them" when people are released and don't know why MoJ referred us over.
Plot thickens.— Chris Hemmings (@Hemmch) March 22, 2017
This is almost getting comical, except for the tragic circumstances surrounding it.
Confirmed from multiple sources – official and community – that Trevor Brooks NOT attacker. He's still in jail despite what others report.

Sooooo, I don’t know what’s really going on at this point.
If Abu Izzadeen is still in jail, then the fucker needs to stay there. #Westminster #WestminsterAttack

I've just spoken to the lawyer of Abu Izadeen aka Trevor Brooks
Told me: "The last contact we had was the 8th January 2016 in court"— Chris Hemmings (@Hemmch) March 22, 2017
Sky: "Police say they know who the attacker is. Name not confirmed yet."

Channel 4 News ends with Trevor Brooks' brother saying he's still in jail.
— Andrew Neil (@afneil) March 22, 2017
I’m hoping we might get official word sometime soon, but we’ll see. As you can see, things are all over the map.
Here’s a fresh statement from Channel 4…

I still haven’t seen it 100% confirmed, but it looks like this guy is actually in jail judging by the pushback. It was a wild day to actually get to that point.
UPDATE: The real name of the attacker came out this morning…
The man believed to have carried out the attack in Westminster has been named by police as Khalid Masood.
Kent-born Masood, who was shot dead in the attack, was not the subject of any current police investigations, but had a range of previous convictions.
The 52-year-old was believed to have been living in the West Midlands.
The so-called Islamic State group has said it was behind the attack, in which PC Keith Palmer, Aysha Frade and US tourist Kurt Cochran were killed.
