Britain was already warned by FBI about Manchester suicide bomber in January, and did nothing to stop him
UK security chiefs were warned in January that Salman Abedi was planning an attack in Britain, it was claimed last night.In other words, the UK authorities have to shoulder blame for not taking any action to put the monster in detention, all because his "rights" were far more important than his victims.
According to a security source, the FBI told MI5 that Abedi was part of a North African Islamic State cell plotting to strike a political target in the UK.
The information came from a US investigation into Abedi and his links to terrorist groups in Libya. The Mail on Sunday has also been told that US security services put him on a terror watch list – used by agents to identify key suspects – in 2016.
'The information came from the interception of his communications by US federal agents, who had been investigating Abedi since the middle of 2016, and from information unearthed in Libya, where his family was linked to terrorist groups.
'Following this US tip-off, Abedi and other members of the gang were scrutinised by MI5. It was thought at the time that Abedi was planning to assassinate a political figure.
'But nothing came of this investigation and, tragically, he slipped down the pecking order of targets.'
To make matters worse, it's also been revealed that there's at least 23,000 jihadists roaming in Britain, far more than security services have the manpower to keep under surveillance. But even surveillance is not enough. Only detention and deportation will help to prevent these attacks from taking place.
