Especially given the government admitting the attacker was known but not detained. It makes me speculate regarding how many more "known" people are out there and wonder what is providing them from being detained.
So that is simple question with complicated answer ., Again the question is ..
When these western or any government knew these jihadi suicide bombers why were they not detained?...
1). One answer is., does such arrest/detention step-on civil liberties of an individual??
2). are the governments waiting and monitoring their activities to get those around them??
3). Are these govt agencies using them as their job security ? By not arresting them, these unaccountable funding for terror will continue for ever and often the agencies use these jihadi guys for their hall of fame and to open private security killer mercenaries
Let us take the example of that 22 year old brainwashed brainless fool
Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi
The Manchester Arena suicide bomber Salman Abedi had made trips to Libya, Downing Street said last night, as intelligence agencies combed his connections with al-Qaeda and Islamic State in his parents’ homeland. Salman Abedi, 22, who was reportedly known to the security services, is thought to have returned from Libya as recently as this week.
A school friend told The Times: "He went to Libya three weeks ago and came back recently, like days ago."
Abedi born in Manchester and grew up in tight-knit Libyan community that was known for its strong opposition to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
He had become radicalised recently - it is not entirely clear when - and had worshipped at a local mosque that has, in the past, been accused of fundraising for jihadists.
Abedi’s older brother Ismail had been a tutor at Didsbury mosque’s Koran school. The imam last night said that Salman Abedi, who wore Islamic dress, had shown him “the face of hate” when he gave a talk warning on the dangers of so-called Islamic State.
Born in 1994, the second youngest of four children, Abedi’s parents were Libyan refugees who fled to the UK to escape Gaddafi.
His mother, Samia Tabbal, 50, and father, Ramadan Abedi, a security officer, were both born in Tripoli but appear to have emigrated to London before moving to the Whalley Range area of south Manchester where they had lived for at least a decade.
Abedi went to school locally and then on to Salford University in 2014 where he studied business management before dropping out. His trips to Libya, where it is thought his parents returned in 2011 following Gaddafi’s overthrow, are now subject to scrutiny including links to jihadists.
Among them was Abd al-Baset Azzouz, a father-of-four from Manchester, who left Britain to run a terrorist network in Libya overseen by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s successor as leader of al-Qaeda.
Azzouz, 48, an expert bomb-maker, was accused of running an al-Qaeda network in eastern Libya. The Telegraph reported in 2014 that Azzouz had 200 to 300 militants under his control and was an expert in bomb-making
The imam added: “When he passed by me, we Muslims greet each other and you know he is not happy with me if he doesn’t greet you.” At the Abedi family home in Elsmore Road, a non-descript red-brick terrace, neighbours told how Abedi had become increasingly devout and withdrawn.
Lina Ahmed, 21, said: “They are a Libyan family and they have been acting strangely. A couple of months ago he [Salman] was chanting the first kalma [Islamic prayer] really loudly in the street. He was chanting in Arabic.
“He was saying ‘There is only one God and the prophet Mohammed is his messenger’.’
A family friend, who described the Abedis as “very religious”, said most of the family had returned to Libya, leaving only Salman and his older brother Ismail behind. ....
All that is from news and that is all what we know on that that 22 year old brainless fool. Now question are
1). Is he a candidate for arrest before he took lives of 22 kids??
2). does he deserve arrest before he went into that fucking Jannah of Islam by killing 22 kids and giving horrible nightmares and pain to the loved ones of those who were murdered??
3). On what basis should a government that respects civil liberties, freedom to support every faith and faith head equally arrest that 22 year old fellow??
