The conclusions of the judge | |
coroner, Sir Adrian Fulford, so far have been damning. | |
He identified failures | |
by "one or more identified state agents" and organisations to protect lives. | |
He | |
said Saadallah was a "known extremist" with a "terrorist mindset", and his "settling on jihad as a solution to his turmoil" could have been "avoided". | |
We’ve heard many details about | |
Saadallah’s life. | |
He’s a former child soldier from Libya, who fought with | |
extremist Islamic militia during and after fall of the Gaddafi regime. | |
Since his arrival in the UK as an asylum seeker, he had frequent contact with | |
numerous authorities. | |
He told professionals he had killed people, tortured | |
people, that he wanted to kill others, could envisage killing others and then | |
killing himself. | |
Sir Adrian said, with "extremism on one hand and mental health on the other" all key agencies should | |
have been informed, and should have considered, the "totality" of all | |
background information about Saadallah. | |
That was "crucial" in assessing | |
the risk he posed. The fact that continuing intelligence collected on Saadallah | |
was "not fully assessed" fell far below necessary standards. | |
