Shocking: The London Bridge attack led by Kharum Butt was the third to hit Britain in three months and all involved people known to the security services

The three terror attacks to hit Britain in the past three months - claiming 34 lives - have all been carried out by jihadis who were known to the police and MI5.

It raises questions about the security services' ability to watch the estimated 23,000 people in Britain considered a potential terror threat.

Last night it was confirmed that London Bridge massacre mastermind Khuram Butt, 27, had been investigated two years ago but was considered a lower risk threat. 

Butt appeared on a TV show about British jihadis and was an associate of hate preachers including Anjem Choudary.

Last month MI5 also launched urgent probes into why it missed the danger posed by the Manchester bomber Salman Abedi, 22. 

It came amid claims that the authorities were repeatedly told that Abedi was a danger to the public.

Teachers and religious figures in Manchester who knew the killer raised concerns about his extremist views on numerous occasions over several years.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd said missed chances to catch Abedi would be investigated, as it was claimed that US officials warned MI5 last year that he was planning an attack.

She said: 'Of course people will want to look afterwards to see whether there are signals that could have been learnt, how could we do this be‎tter.'

MI5 carried out a quick review of intelligence held abou‎t him in the aftermath of the May 22 attack.

The second inquiry will be more detailed and will look at the decision-making before the bombing, including what was known about his co-conspirators.

The British-born jihadi who killed five and injured 29 in Westminster in March was revealed to be a middle-aged criminal career who MI5 had investigated in the past and had a previous conviction for stabbing a man in the nose.

English teacher Khalid Masood, 52, a 'lone wolf' attacker, who was living in the Birmingham area, had a series of convictions for assault and other crimes.

Scotland Yard revealed how Masood was known by a number of aliases and MailOnline revealed he was born Adrian Elms to a single mother in Kent before his religious conversion. 

Masood has used the names Khalid Choudry and Adrian Ajao among others.

He grew up in a £300,000 house in the seaside town of Rye, East Sussex and had a long criminal history....
