London attacker not known to Irish Muslim leaders

The London Bridge attacker believed to have spent time in Ireland was not known to Muslim leaders here.

Dr Ali Selim of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland said he had never personally heard of the man identified as Rachid Redouane, who claimed Moroccan nationality, nor had anyone in the community that he had spoken to.

“I never heard that name before and it is not familiar to anyone I have spoken to, so if he was in Dublin, he was not in contact with the community,” he said.
