Mother of London Attacker Khalid Masood Says She is ‘Shocked and Saddened’

DAILY MAIL/SOLO SYNDICATION

The mother of Westminster attacker Khalid Masood has said she is “shocked, saddened and numbed” by his actions.

Janet Ajao said she had “shed many tears for the people caught up in this horrendous incident”.

Masood killed three people when he drove a car into pedestrians last Wednesday. He then fatally stabbed a police officer before being shot dead.

Meanwhile, police say no evidence has been found of links between Masood and so-called Islamic State or al-Qaeda.

Mrs Ajao, from Trelech in Carmarthenshire, said: “I wish to make it absolutely clear, so there can be no doubt, I do not condone his actions nor support the beliefs he held that led to him committing this atrocity.

“I wish to thank my friends, family and community from the bottom of my heart for the love and support given to us.”
