the mps say mi5 admits it moved "too slowly" in establishing how dangerous salman abedi really was.ve attacks that hit britain last year, as judith moritz reports. five attacks in six months made 2017 the worst year for terrorism in recent times. targets included the houses of parliament, the london underground, and a mosque in finsbury park. 36 lives were lost, thousands more injured and traumatised. now there is strong criticism from mps, who say lessons weren't learned from past attacks. it has been striking how many issues which arose in relation to the 2017 terrorist attacks had been previously raised by this committee in our reports on the 7/7 attacks and on the killing of fusilier lee rigby. we previously made recommendations in all of these areas, yet the government failed to act on them. mi5‘s handling of the manchester arena attack has been held up for particular criticism. the bomber, salman abedi, was allowed to travel freely from libya, visited an extremist in prison, and was dealt with too slowly. robbie potter was gravely injured in the attack, left in a coma with shr

the man responsible for this was salman abedi.there never can bea nevertheless failings. there never can be a perfect response and i think ina can be a perfect response and i think in a similar way, this is an honest look at what the national agencies could and should have done better. i think they have admitted that there are things that should have been done differently, perhaps travel restrictions placed upon him. there is also the question of the regulation of the sale of chemicals and there are questions for the government to answer. but i think it is not really fair to say whether people have been let down because that implies finger—pointing on our part. we have got to recognise unprecedented pressure on the security services at a national level and everything that is in this report has to be seen in that context. and a blame game, i don't think, will necessarily help move us forward. particularly because there will be men and women of the security service and of the police who may well think themselves they may be able to

it does seem though that in this case salman abedi had been on their radar.he home office are just as much to blame for this. if they have a single person going over to libya, he's not going to libya for his holidays, he's not going for a fortnight in the sun. they know he's going overfor a fortnight in the sun. they know he's going over for something. a fortnight in the sun. they know he's going overfor something. as soon as he comes back they should have brought him in, question him, saying what are you up to, what are you doing? things like that. just let him know that he's on their radar, and maybe he might have taken a different route and this atrocity might not have happened. clearly the intelligence and security committee has carried out an investigation and report looking at notjust the manchester attack but others as well. are you confident that the right lessons have been learned i'm pretty confident. and they will learn from these mistakes, it is a big thing that they are actually running the security services. it is not little, it is massive. it i

now on the manchester attack specifically the attacker soundman abedi this report talks about how he was able to visit extremist in prison more than one time however without any follow up from the police or the m i five he was also apparently been able to return from libya without any interception from officials just days before killing twenty two people at that pop concert in manchester and also it's been said in this report that he was actually flagged for review and known to the m i five since twenty fourteen however he was not referred to the government's anti-terrorism programme this is a bit of what the report had to say on that. we've concluded that there were a number of failures in the handling of some of the biggest case it's impossible to say whether any of these if any of these had not happened but the devastating attacks of the twenty second of may could have been prevented but we can say that as a result of the failings potential opportunities to prevent it were missed we previously made recommendations in all of these areas yet the government failed to talk of the less

and security committee says m15 moved too slowly to establish the danger posed by the bomber, salman abediflagged in 2010. he had visited an extremist contact in prison. no follow—up action was taken. and there was another opportunity missed after his return to england from libya, days before the attack, where he is believed to have been taught bomb—making. let's go back to philip ingram. it is impossible to say whether they could have stopped this. 0bviously, though, reading the report, there we re though, reading the report, there were plenty of opportunities missed. it is impossible. whenever you write the report, you have the advantage of hindsight, you have got the jigsaw puzzle picture in front of you and then you try to look at the pieces and put them in place. the security and intelligence services working beforehand were trying to working beforehand were trying to work in 2020 for your site, they did not know this would happen and were running a huge number of investigations, over 600 investigations, over 600 investigations on 3000 people with another 20,000 people on a watchlist.
