YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The security services were guilty of "a significant missed opportunity to take action that might have prevented" the Manchester Arena bombing, according to the chairman of the inquiry into the atrocity.

A report published by former high court judge Sir John Saunders, the third and final from his inquiry, looked at whether MI5 and counter-terror police could have prevented bomber Salman Abedi from carrying out the attack.

The inquiry had heard Manchester-born Abedi had been on the radar of the security services for seven years before the bombing.
