The UK judicial system failed when it allowed convicted terrorist Usman Khan, who carried out a deadly attack on London Bridge on Friday, out early despite warnings that he posed a risk to the public. The 28-year-old was a convicted terrorist who was released from prison less than 12 months ago. He killed two people during a rampage on Friday before being shot dead by police.
In 2012, Khan pleaded guilty to preparing an act of terror, namely travelling to and attending operational meetings, fundraising for terrorist training, preparing to travel abroad and assisting others in travelling abroad. Sky News host Rita Panahi said the decision to release Khan in the first place was "not good enough". "This is the system in the UK, it's not good enough," she said.
