i should also mention that there was serious concern in relation to salman abedi. it is so sensitive that we can't mention it publicly without causing serious damage and i mention it because i want to assure you that we have seen the details, scrutinised it thoroughly, and i also want to assure you that it hasn't been removed from the report in order to avoid embarrassing any individual or to hide any wrongdoing. the issue is contained in the classified report that we have sent to the prime minister. she will need to take action on it. taking these issues together, we have concluded there we re together, we have concluded there were a number of failures in the handling of salman abedi's case. it is impossible to say whether if any of these had not happened that the devastating attack could have been prevented, that we can say as a result of the failings, potential opportunities to prevent it were missed. in conclusion, i want to emphasise that both m15 and counterterrorism police have been thorough as they seek to learn from past mistakes. however it has been strik

the mps say mi5 admits it moved "too slowly" in establishing how dangerous salman abedi really was. daniel sandford reports. salman abedi killed 22 people when he detonated a suicide bomb at an ariana grande concert at manchester arena in may last year. he was known to mi5 and counter—terrorism policing, and had visited a hardened extremist in prison. his case was even under review at the time of the attack, but mi5 had not asked border staff to notify them when he left or entered the country. we learned today that mi5 now admits that was a mistake. he returned from libya just before the attack. abedi had made his bomb by buying chemicals often used to make explosives. but the system for retailers warning police about the purchase of chemicals has not been modernised, and dates back to the ira era of fertiliser bombs. in its enquiry, held behind closed doors, parliament's intelligence and security committee looked at the secret files and spoke to mi5 and concluded there had been failures in how abedi was handled, and potential opportunities to prevent the manchester attack had bee

mi5 has accepted its mistake in failing to track the bomber, salman abedi. they were aware of him but were too slow to deal with his case. and with no travel restrictions imposed, he was able to return undetected from libya days before the attack. abedi was never referred to the government's anti—radicalisation programme, prevent, and was able to visit another extremist in prison. robbie potter was gravely injured in the attack, left in a coma with shrapnel removed from his heart. today he's on the mend but angry at the revelations. it is something that could have been stopped, end of. this did not have to happen. every alarm bell was ringing. you feel let down? i am a bit, yeah. there was enough warning signs. it wasn't like just one house call, there was enough warning signs. they should be took to court. there, i've said it. they should be took to court now. they're just as guilty. that could have been stopped. mis? yeah. olivia campbell—hardy loved dancing with her grandfather, steve. the 15—year—old was one of 22 people killed at manchester aren

the mps say mi5 admits it moved "too slowly" in establishing how dangerous salman abedi really was. the committee reviewed five attacks that hit britain last year, as judith moritz reports. five attacks in six months made 2017 the worst year for terrorism in recent times. targets included the houses of parliament, the london underground, and a mosque in finsbury park. 36 lives were lost, thousands more injured and traumatised. now there is strong criticism from mps, who say lessons weren't learned from past attacks. it has been striking how many issues which arose in relation to the 2017 terrorist attacks had been previously raised by this committee in our reports on the 7/7 attacks and on the killing of fusilier lee rigby. we previously made recommendations in all of these areas, yet the government failed to act on them. mi5‘s handling of the manchester arena attack has been held up for particular criticism. the bomber, salman abedi, was allowed to travel freely from libya, visited an extremist in prison, and was dealt with too slowly. robbie potter was gravely injured in the att

it does seem though that in this case salman abedi had been on their radar. he had actually visited a known militant in prison, but they failed to carry out the follow—ups that they should have done. yes, i'm sure they did. but also i think the government and the home office are just as much to blame for this. if they have a single person going over to libya, he's not going to libya for his holidays, he's not going for a fortnight in the sun. they know he's going overfor a fortnight in the sun. they know he's going over for something. a fortnight in the sun. they know he's going overfor something. as soon as he comes back they should have brought him in, question him, saying what are you up to, what are you doing? things like that. just let him know that he's on their radar, and maybe he might have taken a different route and this atrocity might not have happened. clearly the intelligence and security committee has carried out an investigation and report looking at notjust the manchester attack but others as well. are you confident that the right lessons ha

the man responsible for this was salman abedi. to what level do you believe the people of manchester were let down by the authorities who are there to protect them? it is difficult for me to say because i commissioned the report into our own local response to what happened and greater manchester stood up very well and what was very brutally tested on the night but there were nevertheless failings. there never can bea nevertheless failings. there never can be a perfect response and i think ina can be a perfect response and i think in a similar way, this is an honest look at what the national agencies could and should have done better. i think they have admitted that there are things that should have been done differently, perhaps travel restrictions placed upon him. there is also the question of the regulation of the sale of chemicals and there are questions for the government to answer. but i think it is not really fair to say whether people have been let down because that implies finger—pointing on our part. we have got to reco

abedi. he had first been flagged in 2010. he had visited an extremist contact in prison. no follow—up action was taken. and there was another opportunity missed after his return to england from libya, days before the attack, where he is believed to have been taught bomb—making. let's go back to philip ingram. it is impossible to say whether they could have stopped this. 0bviously, though, reading the report, there we re though, reading the report, there were plenty of opportunities missed. it is impossible. whenever you write the report, you have the advantage of hindsight, you have got the jigsaw puzzle picture in front of you and then you try to look at the pieces and put them in place. the security and intelligence services working beforehand were trying to working beforehand were trying to work in 2020 for your site, they did not know this would happen and were running a huge number of investigations, over 600 investigations, over 600 investigations on 3000 people with another 20,000
