On the evening of the Westminster attack of 22 March 2017, "Channel 4 News" claimed they were able to name the dead attacker as Abu Izzadeen, also known as Trevor Brooks. The claim was repeated by "The Independent" and the "Daily Mirror". However, "Channel 4 News" was forced to issue an on-air retraction during the same bulletin after Izzadeen's solicitor stated that he was alive and serving time in prison.
