ROME: A third man arrested for carrying out Saturday’s deadly attack in central London is an Italian-Moroccan who was arrested last year on suspicion of trying to reach Syria, according to Italian media reports. Italy’s main media outlets said Youssef Zaghba, 22, was the son of an Italian mother from Bologna and a Moroccan father. The Italian reports said Zaghba was intercepted at the Bologna airport last year as he was about to board a plane for Turkey, apparently with the intention of joining Islamic State militants in Syria. According to the reports, Zaghba was born in Fez, Morocco, and never lived for any extended period in Italy. His mother told police last year that he had asked her for money to travel to Rome before he left on his abortive trip to Syria.
