    An Imam from Birmingham, the home city of London attacker Khalid Masood, said on Friday (March 24) that Muslims are determined to combat the spread of extremism.
    British-born Muslim convert Masood killed at least four people in Britain's deadliest attack since the 2005 London bombings, and was considered by intelligence officers to be a criminal who posed little serious threat.
    Islamic State claimed responsibility for Masood's attack, although it was unclear what links - if any - he had with the militant group. Police said there had been no prior intelligence about his intent to mount an attack.
    At least 50 people were injured in the attack, including two people who remained in hospital in critical condition, police said. Two police officers were also in hospital with significant injuries.
