Why are they holding off on releasing the name of the London Terrorist?

They would rather have people guessing and guessing wrong?  Why release the names of the victims but not the perp?

 

maybe to give his family time to pack up and go in hiding to escape repercussions?

I suppose that could be a good reason, but I doubt it is THE reason. I haven't seen families going into hiding before? Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think they are withholding for that reason.

Maybe releasing the name of the terrorist isn't a good idea?

 

Several French news organisations have said they will no longer publish photographs of people responsible for terrorist killings, to avoid bestowing “posthumous glorification”.

 

In the aftermath of the Nice attack, a psychoanalyst, Fethi Benslama, who teaches at Paris Diderot university, suggested on French radio: “Perhaps it is time that there was a pact in the media to no longer publish the names and pictures of the perpetrators of these acts, as it’s a really big boost to their efforts to make themselves world famous, even while their victims are anonymous and will remain anonymous.”

 

Benslama said this “glorification” encouraged others to carry out attacks, “to gain glory in the eyes of their commanders and their friends”. He added: “They leave their identity cards – they want to be identified very quickly.”

Yeah I'm sure that's their motive.
