The London Bridge killer wearing an Arsenal shirt slipped through the intelligence net despite being reported to the police at least twice for his extremism, it was revealed today.
The security services face difficult questions because the 27-year-old Muslim ringleader, known to friends as 'Abz', even appeared in a TV documentary last year about British jihadists and unfurled an ISIS-style flag in Regent's Park.
He was also caught on camera alongside two notorious preachers who were well known to police and intelligence officials because of their extremist views.
A friend of the suspect had reported him to the anti-terror hotline after he became an extremist by watching videos on YouTube and police were also warned about the suspect radicalising children in a local park two years ago, giving them sweets and money.
'Abz' also berated an Imam for encouraging worshippers to vote in the 2015 General Election and was banned from the mosque in the ensuing row.
A friend who called the anti-terror hotline said: 'I did my bit, I know other people did their bit but the authorities did not do their bit'. The Telegraph claims that counter-terrorism officers were watching a terror cell in Barking on the eve of the terror attack.
The suspect, who the Mail has chosen not to name at the request of police, is understood to be one of three men who embarked on a stabbing rampage in London on Saturday night.
Gardai in Ireland have confirmed that an Irish ID card was found on the body of another of the killers - who is believed to have been born in Morocco but living in Dublin. Police say he was living in the Rathmines area of the Irish capital with his Scottish wife but he was not on their radar.
