"UK security chiefs were warned in January that Salman Abedi was planning an attack in Britain, it was claimed last night.

According to a security source, the FBI told MI5 that Abedi was part of a North African Islamic State cell plotting to strike a political target in the UK.

The information came from a US investigation into Abedi and his links to terrorist groups in Libya. The Mail on Sunday has also been told that US security services put him on a terror watch list – used by agents to identify key suspects – in 2016.

MANCHESTER BOMBER'S BROTHER WAS 'PLOTTING ATTACK ON UN ENVOY IN LIBYA'

The Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...mbers-brother-plotting-attack-un-envoy-libya/

The younger brother of the Manchester bomber was a member of a jihadist cell believed to have been planning an attack on the UN’s special envoy to Libya, the Telegraph understands.

The plot to target Martin Kobler, the head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, during a visit to the capital Tripoli earlier this year was interrupted before it could be carried out, diplomatic sources said.

Libyan security services had been monitoring the group for months and claim they found Hashim Abedi, the 20-year-old brother of suicide bomber Salman, 22, to be a “significant player”.

Salman was supposed to be the youngest son and also innocent. Also, a shame Libya couldn't have brought this up before to the Security Services. Funny that.

So this is coming from US sources? Same sources as the leak or different ones I wonder.

Eta: what about The Telegraph?

Islamic State calls for 'all-out war' on West at start of Ramadan after Manchester attack
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ls-all-out-war-west-start-ramadan-manchester/

"“Muslim brothers in Europe who can’t reach the Islamic State lands, attack them in their homes, their markets, their roads and their forums,” the jihadist group said in a message entitled Where are the lions of war? and published on YouTube."

"Defending themselves after the suicide attack on Manchester Arena, which left 22 mostly children and teenagers dead, the group said: “Do not despise the work. Your targeting of the so-called innocents and civilians is beloved by us and the most effective, so go forth and may you get a great reward or martyrdom in Ramadan.”"

(Man, that post was so Foxfire...wish he was here with us.)


Eta: Interesting, "so-called innocents"...

Luckily they will not be able to respond because they will be defending themselves in court after their recent arrests for these cowardly murders.

It's chilling to see how calm and collected this monster seems.

He looks like he's on drugs to me. A bit zombie like.
Also knowing what you're carrying and that you are about to murder unarmed innocents mainly children would be sobering and depressing .
There should be lots of sightings phoned in from such clear pics which will lead to more arrests.
 
Intelligence Agencies Admit 23,000 Jihadis Live In Britain; 3,000 Pose "Imminent Threat"

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-...adis-living-britain-3000-pose-imminent-threat

Of this 'pool' of potential terrorists, 3,000 are suspected of posing an “imminent threat” and are being investigated accordingly, the Times reports. Meanwhile, the other 20,000 have been involved with past investigations and have been categorized as posing a “residual risk.”

The notion that there are 23,000 potential jihadis in the U.K. is “horrifying,” said Anthony Glees, head of security and intelligence at the University of Buckingham.

“We should double the size of MI5, as we did in World War II, and expand the number of intelligence-led police by the thousands.”

This is disappointing... I wonder how the U.S. found out about this before the U.K. ? Wish they could've/would've done something about it.

It is a huge problem and headache for the government and all of us that is not going to be easily managed or solved. I understand the security services are hiring in large numbers so hopefully more surveillance can be done.

I'm really worried about attacks in the U.K and Europe during Ramadan, around the general election and indefinitely. I'm sure Ariana's fundraising concert a week today (Sunday) will be under heavy security as it should be.

"The man behind the recent terrorist attack in Manchester, suicide bomber Salman Abedi, who murdered 22 people and injured over a hundred at a pop concert, had been among the 20,000 who are considered “former subjects of interest,” the Times reported."

Yes it is very disappointing they made the wrong call to put him on the "former subjects of interest list". It is very worrying to know there are individuals they considered to be an even greater threat than he was, who are yet to be successful in possible attacks.

BBC radio news are reporting this pic was from a lift at the venue and the background was blacked out. Don't have a link so MOO for now.
 
Not sure UK police can actually do anything until something happens.
Non-comparable, but my childminder asked a nearby police officer to keep an eye on her car while she rushed in and out of my house, and he said he couldn't, but "if anything happened it would be caught on cameras".
I know they're also keeping an eye on my son since he was put on meds for mental health issues, but what can they do before anything happens?

What are they legally allowed to do until something happens? They can't follow suspects around 24/7.
(I'm currently in the UK/ London)
