    The police say in a statement Thursday that Masood was born in southeastern England and was most recently living in the West Midlands, in central England.

    Police say Masood, who had a number of aliases, wasn’t the subject of any current investigation and that “there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack.”

    He had been arrested previously for assault, possession of offensive weapons and public order offenses.

    His first conviction was in November 1983 for criminal damage and his last was in December 2003 for possession of a knife.
