MI5 received intelligence the Fishmongers' Hall killer was planning an attack on his release, an inquest has heard

Eleven months earlier, Khan was released from Whitemoor Category A prison as a"high-risk" terrorism offender, having served half of a 16-year sentence.MI5 began investigating Khan in early 2011, shortly after he was arrested for plotting to set up a terror training camp in Pakistan.But by the following year, this was said to be"likely".

Investigators received two key pieces of intelligence stating Khan"wanted to return to his old ways" and"planned to carry out an attack" on his release. Jonathan Hough QC asked if there was"some corroboration between the two pieces of information that both suggested that Khan has plans to reengage in extremist activity?"

She added:"We took every step we could to validate and corroborate both strands of intelligence and were unable to do so," the officer added.
