The ringleader of the London Bridge attack passed a background check to work on the Underground despite being reported to an anti-terrorist hotline, a member of a banned group, investigated by MI5 and appearing in a documentary on jihadis.
Khuram Butt was employed by Transport for London as a customer service assistant on a salary of £23,000 a year in the summer of 2016, inquests into the attack heard.
The Old Bailey was told that compulsory background checks did not flag up Butt’s appearance in a television documentary called the Jihadis Next Door, which aired months before.
Jonathan Hough QC, counsel for the inquests, asked whether Butt’s job “gave him access to a London Underground station in a security capacity”.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, who investigated the attacker’s background, replied: “Yes, it did.”
Butt had made no attempt to hide his identity while appearing alongside a group of known extremists from Anjem Choudary’s al-Muhajiroun Islamist group.
The documentary showed Butt joining a public prayer towards a black flag associated with Isis, alongside a man who later joined the terrorist group in Syria.
An unaired clip, which was filmed in August 2015, was played to the court showing Butt ranting about British airstrikes.
The court heard that Butt’s relatives said he “brought shame on the family” in the programme and forced him to apologise.
Earlier the same year, relatives threatened to disown Butt and report him to the police over fears he wanted to travel to Syria.
Then in September 2015, Butt’s brother-in-law reported him to the anti-terrorist hotline after a debate over a gory Isis propaganda video showing a Jordanian pilot being burned to death in a cage.

Before joining London Underground, Butt had various jobs at a domestic refuge, Topshop, a pizza restaurant and at a removal company.
The court heard he persuaded his wife to give him money, made cash by obtaining mobile phones and selling them on Gumtree, and sought a handout from Transport for London’s staff welfare fund.
Butt took sick leave from the Tube after claiming that “company shoes were causing issues” and was sacked in October 2016.
He got to know fellow attacker Rachid Redouane at the gym, which was run by a senior member of al-Muhajiroun linked to a network of safe houses for British jihadis and terror training camps in Pakistan.
Sajeel Shahid’s wife, Sophie Rahman, was the headteacher of an Islamic primary school in Ilford and asked Butt to give children Quran lessons 18 months before the London Bridge attack.
The court heard that fellow terrorist Youssef Zaghba also volunteered at Ad-Deen primary school, which was shut down in the wake of the atrocity.
The court heard that Butt had been a “party animal” who drank, smoked and used drugs, before showing signs of extremism in 2013.
Butt told a colleague the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby – by two extremists who were also linked to al-Muhajiroun – was an “eye for an eye”.
The inquest heard that the would-be terrorist became “like a lion out of a cage” in Choudary’s company and had been “energised” by the hate preacher, who was jailed for inviting support for Isis but has since been freed.
No charges were brought in either case, and following his death Butt was linked to another incident in April 2017.
A man reported losing an iPad, which was later found in Butt’s home, after a car he thought was a taxi drove away and broke his leg.
Butt had been born in Pakistan in 1990 and came to Britain on a visitor’s visa with his family at the age of eight, the court heard.
In 2004, following the death of his father from a heart attack, he was given indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
He went to schools in Forest Gate and Stratford in east London, gaining 11 GCSEs.
Butt married Zahrah Rehman in December 2013 and they went on to have two children, his daughter born just a month before the terror attack.
A friend told police that Butt liked playing football, supported Arsenal and had been into reggae music.
Butt wore an Arsenal shirt under a fake suicide vest during the London Bridge attack, when he Redouane and Zaghba ploughed a hired van into pedestrians before launching a stabbing rampage in Borough Market.
They killed eight victims and injured 48 more before being shot dead by armed police.

A suspected jihadi appeared in a film about suspected jihadis, had numerous jobs he walked away from, sympathised with those who murdered a British soldier on a London street, looked like what he thought he was and finally was employed in tolerant diverse enriched London where he could come into contact with people unlike him in any way.
Of course he cleared all background security checks to get that job, why wouldn’t he, are you some kind of “racist” ?
Well stated, Poppey; I hope you are well and maintaining your sanity. Although this report should boggle one’s mind, it only confirms the obvious; those of the gormless and traitorous government and its agencies are as hazardous to one’s existence as Jihads.
If it’s any consolation we have the same crap going on over here…. plus wanting Trump out to continue our decline. With few exceptions, government employees are not on his side. Fight on!
I am reiterating Felix post; Britain is not alone. America is on the
precipice of the vortex, too. The Democrats are of the same ilk. It
appears that the propaganda war is leaning favorably toward the
Leftist-Islamic movement’s direction. It has been so for ages thanks to
the MSM and the likes of George Soros and other Globalists.
Take care, Poppey.
You can only be a racist if you object to Islam and Muslims.
Everything else is fair game.
My postings are dark sarcasm. Never misinterpret that I am happy about what is going on in the U.K..
What is going on in the west to appease Islam makes me angry. You can not appease them enough.
Appeasement is a slow take over without a shot being fired. It’s easing people into it.
International socialism aka communism is paying to give jihadists the opportunity to make democracies appear incapable of providing security to their residents.
They have infiltrated most political parties and the associated bureaucracies where they advise politicians, heads of governmental agencies, police chiefs etc. on how they must deal with muslims of all stripes,to our detriment.

He’s too busy running London into the ground. He is pure evil.
Notice this Muslim terrorist also has Pakistani roots just as Kahn like Kahn job.
Kahn job should be strung up on a light post.

When he was accused of avoiding questions, he replied: “As things stand, I’m the mayor, not you. Its for me to answer the questions not ask them.”
It is a laugh, this Muppet, Khan is a Jihad collaborator and the dumb-ass citizens love him by-and-large. Your photo below confirms that the Khan adorers, groupies are either naive, eighteen bricks short of a load or comatose.

Wait till LBGTQ discovers that Kahn job conned them. Sharia Law doesn’t allow for LBGTQ.
Unbelievable isn’t it!
I have pointed out this very issue here in Australia!
We have majority Muslims who work in security which is mind boggling to me. They are licensed to carry firearms and certified to enter secure areas while on duty! They know the run of the buildings, grounds, entrance and exits and full control of crowd control!
Why the hell would any sane, logical government allow this kind of control over us…unless they want the inevitable to occur!!!!!
Ok thanks Donna.
Was just gonna ask for some local advice about Sydney.

Let Me Remind readers this happened while Theresa May was Home Secretary, which ministry is in charge of security clearances throughout the UK. May could grant security clearances to clear and present danger while she denies Pamela Geller And Michael Savage entry to the UK! May is clearly an agent of the Islamic invasion of the UK and an agent dedicated to the destruction of the UK.
