U.K. authorities have identified two suspects in the London terrorist attack that killed seven people over the weekend: Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane. Butt was the 27-year-old son of Pakistani immigrants who came to the U.K. seeking asylum when Butt was a young child. A third suspect has yet to be identified.

The two men rented a van to mow over pedestrians on London Bridge, driving across the bridge and on to Borough Market, where they exited the van and began to stab patrons who where dining at restaurants and pubs.
