Usman Khan – now known to the world for his attempted terror attack on the London Bridge – was known to police long before Friday's horrific events.
In late December 2010, Khan was charged with conspiracy to cause explosions and other terrorism offences, along with eight others.
In a BBC interview with Khan from 2008, he continually distances himself from the extremist label. "I've been born and bred in England, in Stoke-On-Trent, in Cobridge," Khan said.
"And all the community knows me and they will know, if you ask them, they will know like these labels what they're putting on us, like terrorist, that they will know I ain't no terrorist."
Afterwards, while serving his prison sentence, Khan penned a very telling letter to his lawyer in October 2012 asking for help in joining a deradicalisation program.
