Police face scrutiny as third London attacker named

Al Jazeera  

Italian officials claim they passed on concerns about Youssef Zaghba to British intelligence officials last year. British police on Tuesday named the third London Bridge attacker as an Italian national of Moroccan descent, and Italian officials said they had passed on their concerns about him to British intelligence officials last year. UK police said that 22-year-old Youssef Zaghba lived in east London and had not been considered to be a “person of interest” to either police or the intelligence services – meaning they had no reason to think he was violent or planning an attack. London’s Metropolitan Police said one attacker was Khuram Shazad Butt, aged 27. May has vowed to crack down on extremist content online, warning the public: “We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are.” Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, when asked by ITV television if he backed calls for May to resign, said: “Indeed I would.” Between 2009 and 2016, the number of police officers fell by almost 20,000, or around 14 percent, according to the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies think-tank.
