Cousin of London attacker: 'Our family is hurt'

None

The Pakistani cousin of one of the London Bridge killers said the attack has shattered his family.

 

Bilal Dar told The Associated Press in the Pakistani city of Jhelum that his cousin, Khurum Butt, lived in the city until he was about 7 years old.

 

Dar said the last time he spoke to Butt it wasn't obvious that he had turned to radical Islamist beliefs.

 

"Our family is hurt by what he did," Dar said. "This has destroyed our family's pride."

 

Dar, 18, said that Pakistani intelligence agents were interviewing relatives.
