One of the three attackers shot dead in London on Saturday night was carrying an Irish identity card and had lived in Dublin, according to a report by RTE, Ireland’s national broadcaster.
Citing police sources, RTE says the man is believed to have been from Morocco and married to a Scottish woman.
“An Garda Siochana providing every assistance to our colleagues in the London Metropolitan Police in relation to the terror attack in London,” the Irish police force says in a statement to AFP.
“We will process all requests from the UK authorities in relation to enquiries into individuals, identities or any other matter,” it says.
RTE said officers at the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) are checking records to establish the residency of the man, who has yet to be identified by name, and his marital status while he was living in the country.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
