What Use Are MI5?': Spies Watched London Bridge Terrorists Depart for Attack
It has been suggested UK intelligence services just stood by and watched as the men who carried out the 2017 London Bridge terror attack loaded their van and set off en route to the atrocity. Intelligence services research Tom Secker has told Sputnik the exposure shouldn’t shock.
An official report by David Anderson QC, the UK government's former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has revealed Khuram Butt, ringleader of the June 3 2017 London Bridge terrorist attack, was under surveillance by MI5 and MI6 agents and Scotland Yard, and still the subject of "a live investigation" on the night of the attack.
Butt, former disciple of jailed fundamentalist preacher Anjem Choudary, had been on MI5's radar since mid-2015 as a "subject of interest" — it was thought likely he was planning an attack, and up to 30 intelligence staff and undercover police monitored his movements him round the clock.
