MI5 grilled over failure to stop TV jihadi murdering London revellers
By Phil Miller at the Old Bailey
A SENIOR spy has faced a barrage of questions about why MI5 failed to stop the London Bridge attack, which killed eight people.
Amid tight security at the Old Bailey, a top spook known only as “Witness L” gave evidence from behind a screen at an inquest into their deaths today.
The coroner’s counsel, Jonathan Hough QC, demanded to know why MI5 had failed to stop the main attacker Khuram Butt before he led a frenzied van and knife attack in 2017.
