United Kingdom arrests three as footage of London Bridge attack appears online
Foreign Minister Boris Johnson conceded Tuesday that there were questions to answer about how the three militants slipped through the intelligence net.
The Corriere della Sera newspaper said Fez-born Zaghba’s Italian mother lived in the northern city of Bologna, having parted from his father and left their Moroccan home.
Police seized his phone and found images and video of “religious content”, though nothing signifying jihadist fundamentalism.
British police said Zaghba had not been a subject of interest for them or the MI5 domestic intelligence agency.
It was reported that he was stopped by Italian police in March past year at Bologna’s airport trying to get to Syria via Turkey, and that this was communicated by Italian intelligence to their United Kingdom counterparts.
A British citizen, Butt was born in Pakistan and lived in Barking, east London, along with Moroccan-Libyan Rachid Redouane, the second terrorist responsible for the attacks. “My thoughts are with the people who died in the attack, but also with those that were injured and are recovering in hospital, including the three other officers that were injured, and all the members of the public who rushed to help”. Authorities have said the London attack was apparently unconnected to the Manchester bombing. He says with election campaigning under way coinciding with Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, the chances of attacks were always high.
Since 2010, when the Conservatives entered government, the number of police officers has fallen from 145,948 to 126,766 in March 2016, according to Home Office figures cited by ITV.
A spate of terror attacks on British soil has moved security into the spotlight ahead of key parliamentary elections slated for Thursday.

London police have said 12 other people from Barking held since the attack have been freed. Their strategy is not to terrorize societies by spectacular attacks with as many deaths as possible, such as the 9/11 attacks in the USA, which requires long term planning, global support base and worldwide perpetrators, but increase anxiety among societies with many individual attacks by locals using simple means. She pinned the blame for Britain’s vulnerability to terrorism on excessive toleration of extremist ideology-citing the “safe spaces” that exist online, and in British society generally, protecting the open expression of Islamist extremism.
The Islamic gym where one of the London Bridge attackers trained said they saw nothing of concern during his time there. In particular, there are questions over whether investigators had the resources to look into complaints such as those levelled by Butt’s neighbours about his attempts to radicalise children and whether crucial opportunities were missed.
The commission said in a statement: “It is ultimately for the (Acting) Returning Officers to make decisions on what arrangements are appropriate”.
Prior to moving to London to be with her fiancé, Archibald had worked at a shelter in Calgary.
“And I mean doing more to restrict the freedom and the movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they are a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court”.
At a rally on Tuesday night, she said she would be willing to change human rights laws if they stopped her from tackling terrorism.
