The British security services for a series of errors and negligence have lost "a significant opportunity that could have prevented" the attack on the Manchester Arena during the Ariana Grande concert on May
22, 2017 which cost the lives of 22 people.
This is the conclusion of the public inquiry conducted by Sir John Saunders into the anti-terrorism of MI5 and the police.
What has already emerged in the investigations has been confirmed: the suicide bomber Salman Abedi had been on the radar of the security services for years before carrying out the massacre.
Son of Libyan anti-Gaddafi opponents to whom the United Kingdom had given asylum at the time, he had approached Isis-inspired jihadist circles in full sight of all.
Relatives of the victims have spoken of a "disconcerting conclusion" contained in the report.
Thus ends one of the various investigations conducted to shed full light on the attack.
