London Bridge: Why was the attacker, Usman Khan, out of prison?
The West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit and MI5 team who worked on the investigation had no doubt the men were dangerous - even if they did not have capability.
They would serve the second half of it in the community on a licence to monitor their behaviour. And following that, additional years of monitoring. That meant he would definitely still spend eight years in jail - and then he would be automatically released at the halfway point on licence into the community.
Meanwhile, Khan had also been asking to join a deradicalisation programme - including sending a letter in October 2012 asking for the Home Office to provide someone to work with him.
