The evil British terrorist who killed a police officer and caused the death of four others should have been monitored.
The attacker was eventually shot dead by police as he tried to attack a second police officer with a knife.
UK prime minister, Theresa May, revealed that the man was once investigated by MI5 over extremist material but was a peripheral figure who had fallen out of the intelligence picture. His name has not yet been released
Why he fell out of the intelligence picture, officials have refused to explain. Today, police have raised at least 7 homes in London and Birmingham in connection with the attack, in search of wider potential motives for the strike outside the gates of Parliament.
Officers believed the man may have been motivated by international terrorism. However, considering the man had already shown terrorist tendencies, he should have monitored constantly and not fallen out of the intelligence picture.
Parliament may want to consider establishing a law that imprisons for life those who engage in extremist or terrorist material, for the safety of the British people. This incidence might be an opportunity for the M15 to locate all others who may be considered peripheral figures and watch them closely.
