ON Thursday we had the corporate media trumpeting the “breaking news” of a report by the Intelligence and Security Committee on the “failings” of MI5 regarding the Manchester bombing.
Chair Dominic Grieve gravely announced that “MI5 moved too slowly to establish the danger posed by the bomber, Salman Abedi” and that “MI5 decided not to place travel monitoring or travel restrictions on Abedi and this allowed him to return undetected to the United Kingdom.”
“Undetected?” That’s interesting. Because the truth is that the security services, far from being apathetic in this affair, were intimately involved in facilitating the travel of British Libyans and exiled Libyans based in Manchester to Libya in 2011, the year, you might remember, when our government was making huge efforts to rid that country of Muammar Gadaffi.
