Portrait of a Terrorist

NY Times

  • Adrian Russell Ajao = Khalid Masood after converting to Islam in his late 30s
  • 52-year-old husband and father.
  • Prone to violent outbursts as a younger man
  • Led a quiet life in recent years
  • Most afternoons he would pick up his two youngest children from primary school in a quiet suburban part of Birmingham, in the West Midlands of England.
  • “When he spoke about religion,” said a neighbor who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisals, “he suddenly was a different man,” describing in those moments a fierce and uncompromising anger about the treatment of Muslims.
