London Bridge Terrorist Attack
June 4th, 2017Update: Brother On Police Payroll
Via: Daily Mail:
The brother of the man behind the brutal massacre of seven people in the London Bridge terror attack had actually been paid by police to fight extremism, despite it going on within his own home.
Saad Butt, 29, brother of murderer Khuram, 27, was involved in the Government’s ‘Prevent’ programme set up to counter extremist groups.
His actions are a far cry from his younger brother, who led the three-man death squad who went on a bloodthirsty stabbing frenzy in Borough Market on Saturday night, injuring a further 48 people.
The news has prompted further questions as to how authorities missed Khuram’s bloodthirsty plans when they worked so closely with one of his blood relatives.
He was even being investigated by anti-terror forces in 2015 but was deemed a ‘low priority’ with police saying there was ‘no evidence he was planning an attack’.

Update: London Terrorist Had Twice Been Referred to Police Over Extremist Views
Via: Telegraph:
One of the three jihadists who murdered revellers in central London on Saturday had been reported to the anti-terror police on at least two occasions, it has been claimed.
A former friend of the terrorist, who was shot dead by police along with two accomplices, claimed he had been radicalised while watching YouTube videos and said he contacted the authorities after becoming concerned over his friend’s extremist views.
A neighbour also claimed she had contacted police in Barking, east London, after the suspect tried to convert her children to Islam and radicalise them. The man is not being named at the request of the police.
The former friend claimed he contacted police after comments the man made about other previous attacks. But he said the authorities had failed to act and take action despite evidence of increasingly extremist views.

Three Jihadi terrorists were shot dead by armed police after killing seven people and injuring 48 others in a horrific van and knife rampage in central London last night.
The men, described as being ‘of Mediterranean origin’, mowed down up to 20 revellers as they careered across London Bridge in an ‘S shape’ at 50mph before they began ‘randomly stabbing’ people in nearby Borough Market.
Attackers used 12-inch hunting knives to attack revellers at busy bars and restaurants in the market, sending dozens of others fleeing for their lives.
Witnesses said the gang, who were wearing hoax suicide vests, smashed pub windows and reportedly cut the throats of drinkers. A ‘dark-skinned’ man in a red tracksuit ‘calmly’ stabbed a man three times. Another victim was reportedly stabbed five times in the chest.
Armed police rushed to the scene and authorities urged panicked Londoners on Twitter to ‘run, hide, tell’ if they were caught in the ‘utter chaos’.
The male suspects were shot and killed by armed police in Borough Market within eight minutes of the first call. A photo taken at the scene shows one of the suspects wearing an Arsenal football shirt.
Today police remain at the scene and a ‘full investigation’ is underway. One witness reported seeing armed police storming an apartment complex in Barking, south London, this morning.
The tragedy comes just 12 days after the Manchester terror attack and 10 weeks after the Westminster atrocity. Britain’s terror threat level remains at severe after it was raised to critical in the week after the Manchester attack.
News tonight said there was “no connection with the Manchester or Westminster attacks”.
Sure. None at all.
Will the deep state never desist ? Guess Theresa May is their chosen one and since the previous attack in Bristol had no effect on poll ratings I imagine they thought more of this bullshit was in order.
