穆斯林領導人保證與倫敦警方全力合作

British police have identified two of the three men who carried out Saturday's terror attack close to London Bridge that killed seven people.

Twenty-seven-year-old Khuram Shazad Butt and 30-year-old Rachid Redouane both lived in the East London district of Barking.

Local residents told VOA of their shock that the terrorists lived in the community. Many voiced concerns that they were able to operate undetected by both intelligence services and the local Muslim community.

Butt once worshipped at the local Jabir Bin Zayd mosque, but was reportedly thrown out after a confrontation with the imam over Butt's extremist views.

Muslim leaders say the mosques are united in their condemnation of the attack.

Authorities are investigating whether others in the community knew of or helped conceal their extremism. Muslim leaders reject any link with the terrorists and insist they are cooperating fully with police.英國警察已經確認了實施星期六恐怖襲擊的三名襲擊者當中兩人的身份。那次在倫敦橋附近的恐襲事件造成7人喪生。

27歲的庫拉姆·沙扎德·博特和30歲的拉希德·瑞多安都住在倫敦東區的巴爾金地區。

當地居民告訴美國之音，他們對恐怖分子就住在自己身邊感到震驚。很多人對這些恐怖分子能夠順利作案得手，而情報機構和當地穆斯林社區卻毫無察覺感到擔憂。

博特曾經在當地的賈比爾·本扎伊德清真寺禮拜，但是據報，他與清真寺伊瑪目就他的極端觀點發生對峙後，被趕出了清真寺。

穆斯林領導人表示，倫敦的伊斯蘭教會團結一致，譴責這次恐怖襲擊事件。

有關當局正在調查該社區是否有其他人知道或者幫助掩蓋了這些兇手的極端主義思想。穆斯林領袖否認與這些恐怖分子有牽連，並堅稱他們正在與警方全力合作。
