London [U.K.], June 7 (ANI): London attack ringleader Khuram Butt was identified as a major potential threat, which led to an investigation starting in 2015.
"The British police and the MI5 began investigating Butt intensively as part of a major drive to dismantle and destabilise al-Muhajiroun, a grouping of extremists in the U.K. supportive of the ISIS," U.K. counter-terrorism officials told CNN.
The investigation into Butt involved a "full package" of investigatory measures.
As soon as the British extremists began to flock to Syria to join the ISIS' newly declared caliphate in 2014, counter-terrorism officials moved more aggressively to take down al-Muhajiroun.
Butt was considered to be potentially one of the most dangerous extremists in the U.K., owing to his hardline views.
After the ISIS called for attacks in the West in September 2014, the British security services grew increasingly concerned that al-Muhajiroun members, who had remained in the U.K., would carry out terrorist attacks. One of those they were most concerned about was Butt.
The police say Butt was one of the three men, who rammed a van into pedestrians on the London Bridge before launching a stabbing spree in bars and restaurants at nearby Borough Market on Saturday night. All three were shot dead by the police.
As many as seven people were killed and 48 others were injured. (ANI)
“The investigation into Butt involved a “full package” of investigatory measures.”
“Butt was considered to be potentially one of the most dangerous extremists in the U.K., owing to his hardline views.”
Not intensely enough.
Bottom line:
They knew he was going to do something but chose to do nothing because acting to stop him would have been “Islamaphobic” in their view.
or he could have been managed to create a False Flag.
True.
Which would explain their anger at it being pointed out that it was terror.

BALDERDASH !
Please remove your tinfoil bodysuit and hat.
Yes, but the service may also just be a little incompetent. Today I was reading that they were puzzled as to why the London Bridge attackers were carrying plastic 12” knives. Anyone knows that plastic can go undetected through most scanners, so the answer to the “puzzling” question is that they ordered the biggest plastic knife they could - probably in bulk, since they seemed to have about 10-12 knives of the same color (mauve) in the van and on their persons - because it would be hard to detect.

Paging tourists to the UK...
INTENSELY INVESTIGATED BUT NO CIGAR,They have blood on thier hands that wont wash off, amazes the civilized world that the people of britian wont fight back and wait for the next candelite vigil and teddy bear party
In Britain, telling the truth about Islam is termed “islamophobia” and “”hate speech” and you get arrested for it.
Please note the British police saying right after the Ariana Grande concert bombing that anyone saying “hate speech” or spreading “islamophobia” would be arrested.
And again, THAT attacker was also known to British law enforcement beforehand and again, they did nothing.
No tinfoil involved when the people in charge don’t care and persecute those who do care.
When do they stop being on a “watch list” and start being on the “Go Get ‘Em” list?
