EXCLUSIVE 'You get picked up in the US for walking on cracks in a pavement!' Security services are accused of 'intelligence failure' after British synagogue siege terrorist, 44, evaded officials despite criminal convictions and 9/11 rant

The security services were today accused of a serious 'intelligence failure' after a British Islamist was able to travel to the US to lay siege to a synagogue despite his significant criminal convictions and known radical views.

As police in the US and UK scramble to discover if he was part of a wider terror cell, it has emerged that Malik Faisal Akram, 44, from Blackburn, Lancashire, was branded a 'menace' for raving about the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001.

The terror suspect was given a rare Exclusion Order at Blackburn's magistrates' court - the first in 25 years - for abusing staff about 9/11 on the day after the attack that claimed more than 2,750 lives.

The incident 20 years ago raises questions about whether he was known to the security services on either side of the Atlantic - and how he managed to get into the United States two weeks ago with a significant criminal record.

Today, Tory MP Bob Seely told MailOnline there seemed to have been a 'dreadful' error at the UK and US borders caused by an 'intelligence failure' and it needed to be looked at.

'This is clearly a failure of intelligence sharing. It is absolutely dreadful that he has been allowed to go to the States and hurt people. Clearly something has gone wrong somewhere,' he said.

Another senior MP with knowledge of the security services voiced surprise that the background had not been picked up. 'How did he get into the US?' they said. 'You get picked up for walking on the cracks in the pavement.'

FBI is more interested in seditious parents at school board meetings.
And those who committed unauthorized tourism on Jan. 6.

From this and so many other failures, American intelligence must be the weakest in modern history.

more:
“..The extent of his criminal record is not yet clear, but it may be that some of his offences may have been too petty or too old to stop him being turned away from the United States’ border.

Malik Faisal Akram landed at New York’s JFK Airport on January 2. The address he gave on his arrival papers appears to be the same as the Queens Hotel in New York City, which offers basic accommodation for $80-a-night.

He spent the nights between January 6 and January 13 at a Christian charity’s homeless hostel in Dallas, managing to buy a gun ‘on the street’ nearby. ..”

That’s what happens when the (un)intelligence agencies focus on white people who embrace the Constitution.

Maybe the FIB wanted him to enter the US and make his way to Texas.

The charge is attempted murder, for plotting to break your mother's back.

About the only way they’d have barred him entry is if he’d have worn a MAGA hat on the plane.

There was no failure.
Stop it.
The islamic terrorist was known but wasn’t the ‘wrong’ skin color. Or a world famous, good looking white heterosexual athlete.
The commie dems let them in by the millions at the southern border, not only no questions [or COVID test] asked - but given airfare to anywhere they like in the USA.

Western “security” services have only one real purpose: protection of Deep State & the elites through the enslavement of the people.
