UK Allows 18 Jihadists to Flee Country While Under Monitoring From MI5 And Police
10th January 2016
As many as 18 terror suspects have been able to flee Britain for the Middle East despite being monitored by MI5 or the police, it has been reported.
Including Siddhartha Dhar, the lead suspect behind Isis’s latest video threatening the UK, all 18 were either on bail or on terror watch lists when they escaped the country join Isis or jihadist groups, according to the Sun.
The Independent has previously reported that Mr Dhar was among six individuals allowed to leave who had been linked to the now-proscribed al-Muhajiroun group.
And it is now reported that of the wider group of 18, five were on bail when they fled, five were under investigation by security services and two were subject to government Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs).
Perhaps they ought to have given the job to the people responsible for vetting the Syrian refugees that Obama is eager to welcome to the U.S.
