Manchester Bomber Repeatedly Reported to Authorities over Five Year Period
Breitbart ^ | 5-25-2017 | Donna Rachel Edmunds

The police and security services missed at least five opportunities over five years to stop Salman Abedi from carrying out his deadly terror attack, it has emerged. Following the deadly attack at the Manchester Arena by Abedi on Tuesday night, which claimed 22 lives, questions are being raised as to why the British authorities did little to follow up on repeated reports from friends and community members that Abedi was radicalised and had expressed support for suicide bombing.

The reports date back five years, when two youth workers are said to have phoned an anti-terrorism hotline to report concerns over Adebi’s “extreme views” whilst he was completing his last year at school, the BBC has reported.

Two of Abedi’s friends were also so concerned about his behaviour that they separately phoned the hotline, five years ago, and again in 2016.

“They had been worried that ‘he was supporting terrorism’ and had expressed the view that ‘being a suicide bomber was ok’,” a source told the BBC.

Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, told The Telegraph that community members also reported Abedi to the authorities two years ago “because he thought he was involved in extremism and terrorism”.

“People in the community expressed concerns about the way this man was behaving and reported it in the right way using the right channels,” Shafiq said.

“They did not hear anything since.”

Akram Ramadan, 49, a member of the south Manchester Libyan community where Abedi lived, said that Abedi had been banned from Didsbury Mosque after he confronted an imam who had delivered a sermon opposing extremism.

Didsbury Mosque has confirmed that, following the incident, it contacted the Home Office’s Prevent anti-radicalisation programme to flag Abedi as a possible extremist.

See something. Say something. Now go sit down and shut up.

This is PC behavior to the deadliest extreme.

Looks like British authorities are no better than our US agencies who had that muzzie on their radar for years before he went on a killing spree at that homo bar in Orlando.

Not to mention that muzzie who killed all those people at the office Christmas Party In San Bernardino.

It's not bad enough that authorities expect these things to happen, but it's 10 times worse when they KNOW it will happen and they KNOW who is gonna do it.

he probably slipped through the cracks because the British authorities were busy making sure that nobody was making hateful comments about muslims.

The ATF had a female informant on the inside of the kook ring surrounding the bombers. She REPEATEDLY and FORCEFULLY warned LEO's about what was sure to come.

But nooooo, they wanted to make a HUGE splash by arresting them all at the last possible instant, they didn't want to settle for some BS "conspiracy to" charge.

Final bomb timing switched at last minute, and PRESTO..! Okbomb.

So there ensued a MASSIVE cover-up about what they knew.

The authorities, experts, leaders and representatives...aren’t.

Patriot citizens are the only solution, there and here.

Now.

Yeah, your take is more accurate than mine. It’s a hate crime to not want to be nail-bombed by the . . . . Deplorables. Or something.

I can remember reading reports about how Thomas Hamilton was well known to the local police about his erratic behaviour and alleged molestation of boys and in turn, those police recommended that his permits for possessing handguns be revoked and his collection confiscated. But apparently, the more senior officials who would carry out something like that sat on it and Hamilton was allowed to carry out his bloody rampage in Dunblane. The wide sweeping gun ban in the U.K. following that tragedy seemed like the perfect cover for that sort of incompetence.

It almost looks like the authorities wanted it to happen. Maybe they did.

As to Bizarro World. I sometimes wonder if these stories, so crazy, represent something like .0001 percent of real news and just get all the visibility from sensation presenting press. Or if they really do represent the world.

On the plus side, I’ve traveled from one coast, Seattle, to the other, Savannah, and found that 99.99 percent of the people of encountered are anything but bizarre.

What’s up? Am I spending too much time on the Net?

They did nothing to stop this just as they’ve done nothing to stop the Satanic pedophile ring that’s been operating in Manchester.

Just as we’ve done almost nothing to stop the Satanic child killers in control of our two political parties.

God is going to sweep them into the dustbin of history and throw them into the burn pile He made for trash.
