Suspect arrested for assassinating Brit MP is finally named by police, but won't print his name: Ali Harbi Ali

We can guess that British Member of Parliament Sir David Amess, cruelly and painfully stabbed to death while meeting with constituents, was likely targeted for his pro-Israel and philo-Semitic views, now that the name of the suspect arrested at the scene has been released.

Sources have confirmed to the Guardian that the suspect's name is Ali Harbi Ali, 25.

The Sunday Times and Evening Standard both chose to emphasize the suspect's family as victims: "Father's shock after son held over Sir David Amess murder" and "Terror suspect's family have been left 'traumatised' by arrest." They respectively headlined.

Ali had been referred to Prevent, the UK's counter-terrorist scheme for those thought at risk of radicalization a few years ago, the BBC reported.

Ali is believed not have spent long on the program, which is voluntary in nature, and was never formally a "Subject of interest" to MI5, the domestic security agency, said the BBC. Police and security services believe the attacker acted alone and was "Self-radicalized," The Sunday Times reported, while he may have been inspired by Al-Shabaab, Al-Qaeda-linked Islamists in Somalia.

Ali's father Harbi Ali Kullane, a former adviser to the prime minister of Somalia, confirmed to The Sunday Times that his son was in custody, adding: "I'm feeling very traumatized."

While media around the world, including the New York Times' local rival, The New York Post, have reported Ali's name, the newspaper formerly regarded as the paper of record refuses to report it, as of 7:30 AM EDT today, more than 12 hours after the news broke.
