Police and MI5 insisted one of the London Bridge killers was not dangerous despite an aborted attempt to travel to Syria, clear links to a 7/7 bomber and his starring role in a Channel 4 documentary on British jihadis watched by millions, it was revealed today.
Khuram Butt, 27, was probed two years before his murderous rampage but officials downgraded the investigation because they did not suspect the married father of two was planning an attack.
Incredibly last year he even secured a job working on the Tube and had access to tunnels under the Houses of Parliament while working at Westminster station.
The Pakistani-born Briton, who came to the UK as an asylum seeker, was able to mastermind the murder of seven and maiming of 48 others in plain sight on Saturday night.
There are growing calls for Scotland Yard and MI5 to explain why they failed to act on the repeated warnings about Butt’s extremism.
