Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi (pictured) was allowed to visit an extremist in a UK prison and travel back and forth to Libya unchallenged before killing 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert (inset, emergency services at the scene), a report has revealed. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee today slammed a series of failures by security services and other authorities in how Abedi was handled in the lead-up to the attack, which injured hundreds. MI5 admitted it should have done more to track his movements in and out of the UK. MI5 also accepted it 'moved too slowly' in reviewing Abedi's case after an investigation into him was dropped in 2014 and, despite his case being flagged for revision, no review took place before he carried out the attack. Fury at 'fundamental failings' in the handling of Parsons Green bomber Ahmed Hassan have led MPs to order a separate review in his case after the Home Office delayed handing over key information.
