We can talk to our Security Correspondent to get more. How is it that the police and mi5, mi5, rather, appeared to work galal appeared to allow one of the attackers, khuram butt, through their grasp . There are questions about why he was not watched. He was known to authorities and appeared in documentaries about extremists, he had been reported by other people because of their concerns and was even linked to a group, alhaji maroon, where people were involved in terrorism. He was looked at by mis but in terrorism. He was looked at by mi5 but when they looked at him a couple of years ago they saw no signs of him planning an attack. He was kept under investigation. You may think that means you are being under surveillance all the time, but that isnt the reality unless youre at the very top tier of targets because there are 3000 people under investigation and there arent the resources to do that. That kind of intensive surveillance only comes if they think you are planning an attack and in this case they saw no signs of that until it was too late. Many people may say that given the events of saturday, he should be in the top tier of people they were looking at. Is there any sense of concern, reviewing the strategy of the Security Services . concern, reviewing the strategy of the Security Services . I think there is concern, some people are rattled about what happened. People thought that britain had built a pretty effective Counterterrorism Machine that was running at full tilt but was effectively disrupting plots but weve had three in three months where individuals were known to the authorities. There has been a lot of political talk today about resources and Police Numbers but in the counterterrorism world they are thinking about the strategy. Do they need to change how they operate, do they need to go back and review people to see if the Threat Profile has changed . People to see if the Threat Profile has changed . Do they need to look at how information from beginning it is dealt with . They are the kind of ha rd dealt with . They are the kind of hard questions i think they are asking and will be asking going forward. Some Soul Searching, and they know that they need to deal with the threat that is still very much there.
