Why is this a terrorist incident? Yes the young man was a refugee but this does not appear to have the hallmarks of any ideological reasoning behind it.

The man was simply mentally unstable generally. Can you not be a foreign national and just have a breakdown?
It's very confusing given the recent history of terrorist incidents to have some extremist link, there doesn't appear to be one. Therefore the suggestion he is is a little bit misleading.


I thought I’d heard that MI5 had a file open on his links with terrorism ?

But no matter how you look at this, it was an act of terrorism. His race really has nothing to do with it.

edit - if you read my post again, you'll see after my first statement i was generalising
Do you have a link to the suggestion he was an extremist? There was no mention of that in the info I read.

'Saadallah was on the radar of MI5 in the middle of last year, sources said, when he was briefly placed under investigation as a person who might travel abroad “for extremist reasons”. The inquiry was closed relatively quickly without any action being taken, as no genuine threat or immediate risk was identified.'

To me this suggests he may be vulnerable to suggestion or radicalisation due to his mental health issues, nothing more.

'In 2018, he is understood to have been assessed by Prevent and found to have no clear ideology. He was deemed to need additional mental health support. In the same year, the Libyan national was granted asylum in the UK.

In the middle of last year, MI5 had Saadallah under investigation as a person who might travel to Libya “for extremist reasons”. That claim was found to lack credibility and he was assessed as being far from the legal threshold for investigation.'

Where in there says the guy had links? What links can you show me?

"MI5 had Saadallah under investigation as a person who might travel to Libya “for extremist reasons”."

Is that not a link to terrorism? Even if only threatened, i call that a link.

No thats not a link, a link is evidence with a basis.
The claim had no credibility... should there have been a link that would have given said claim some credibility.

Just because it lacked credibility doesn't mean there isn't truth to it. The fact of the matter is this man committed an act of terrorism when he murdered those 3 innocent men. Most,not all, but most terrorist acts which result in death the UK are committed by Islamic Extremists, so when in the headlines you see 'man kills 3 people in terror attack' it's perfectly reasonable to question 'was this Islam related' because it happens so frequently in this country.

It does seem this man had many mental health problems, and im sure more information will surface in the coming days. But people can't be blamed for being sceptical when similar attacks are regularly at the hands of IS extremists in the UK.

Okay, so it was a Christian terror attack or a homophobic hate crime.

Why is there always a conversation about whether he was a terrorist, when MI5 considered him a person of interest?

Seems like a redundant discussion.

I'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't it be because being a suspect in a crime is not the same as a guilty verdict?
