Police Told to Monitor 20,000 Extremists More Closely After Manchester and London Attacks

Share:

Police and intelligence agencies have been told to more closely monitor the 20,000 known jihadist sympathisers and former terror suspects in the UK to help stop future attacks.

The recommendations were made in a report into the attacks in Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge, and Finsbury Park, after claims that more could have been done to stop the attackers.

Counterterrorism police officers and MI5 are expected to be cleared of any serious failings in the official review, The Guardian reports, but have been told to step up monitoring and coordination.

Terrorists in as many as three of the attacks had previously come to the attention of the security services, including London Bridge attacker Khuram Shazad Butt.
