PARSONS GREEN : NEIGHBOUR SAYS SUSPECT WAS VISITED BY UNDERCOVER OFFICERS

The day that the event at Parsons Green tube station occured I wrote that Islamic terrorism was being allowed to propagate indoctrinate easily-led Muslims into travelling to Syria and Iraq and Libya to fight Jihad in proxy wars, particularly against President Assad of Syria.

The father of the Manchester Arena bomber was one such Jihadi, and had fought for MI6 against Gaddafi, and returned to the UK along with many others to settle in Manchester.

And now this on the 18 year old Parsons Green suspect:

Stephen Griffiths, 28, who lives opposite the 'lovely couple', said they were visited 'multiple times over the span of about a month - a few times a week', and believes their house may have been under surveillance.

He said: 'They started off as normally dressed cops, then moved up in the police ranks, wearing black uniforms in an undercover car. They used to speak to Penny and Ron on the doorstep, but the last couple of times they went in the house.

Mr Griffiths said the home was last visited by police between two and three weeks ago, and having witnessed Saturday's raid, he now believes they were counter-terror officers.

'You need to question whether the house was under surveillance,' he said.

'I think counter-terror police visited a few weeks ago, and if so, why wasn't something done sooner?'
