The FBI warned UK security chiefs that Manchester jihadi Salman Abedi was plotting an attack in Britain, an inside source has claimed. MI5 were warned in January by the U.S. intelligence service that Abedi was part of a North African terror cell planning to strike a political target in Britain according to the source, the Mail on Sunday reports.
A U.S. investigation into the Manchester bombers links to terror groups in Libya brought the information to light, and U.S. security services placed Abedi on a watchlist identifying key terror suspects in 2016.
In early 2017 the FBI told MI5 that Abedi belonged to a North African terror gang based in Manchester, which was looking for a political target in this country, the source said.
Following this US tip-off, Abedi and other members of the gang were scrutinised by MI5.
It was thought at the time that Abedi was planning to assassinate a political figure.
But nothing came of this investigation and, tragically, he slipped down the pecking order of targets.
Information on the attack emerged from intelligence on the Manchester attacker sourced in Libya, where his family is linked to terror groups, and from the interception of Abedis communications by U.S. federal agents, according to the Mail on Sunday.
The claim will pile more pressure on MI5 to reveal when they became aware of the Manchester bomber and why the British security agency failed to take further action.
Security service sources this week revealed that five terror plots were foiled between the Westminster attack in March, where Islamist Khalid Masood ran down a number of pedestrians and stabbed a police constable to death outside the Palace of Westminster, killing five, and the Manchester bombing.

Where was that?
This is amazing. Can you flesh out the list for us? Thx.
Cld be useful to send to our congress critters and ask why this is allowed to happen? Put a little pressure on them.
Wonderful find. What’s the muzzle’s full name? Want to send this around to my leftie friends.
FDR "locked up" the Japanese and Germans and their American born relatives, during WW II!
The government, under Wilson, ignored the boycotting and worse, of American citizens' businesses and treating badly, American citizens with Germanic, Hungarian, etc. last names, during WW I!
And the war propaganda, especially for WW I, here, at home, was particularly exaggerated, dehumanizing, lie filled, and disgusting beyond words.
I could go on, but you'll remember it all better if YOU do your own scut work.
The Manchester bombers father is Salman Abedi.
We don't want to become Fake News here ar FR.
You'll not see that photo anywhere but here.
“an inside source”....i stopped there.
Where did that picture come from? I want to post it on Facebook but don’t want to look like an idiot.
It’s not Abedi’s father. It’s Mohammed Magariaf.
There was no round-up of Germans as a group during WWII.
Ever notice nothing EVER comes of ANY investigation?
Hey...cut them some slack here! The murdering terrorist cretin was a mooslum. He could do no wrong in the eyes of their “leaders”. Great leaders with the blood and shredded flesh of those children and others on their pathetic hands. Ghouls.
That's enough for me. Bye.
Politicians never act. They can only react
How did the FBI find the time with all of the Russian investigating going on.
Ever read the Constitution?
FDR "locked up" the Japanese and Germans and their American born relatives, during WW II!WHAT VALUES? FDR "locked up" the Japanese and Germans and their American born relatives, during WW II!
Which remains a stain on our country - so much so that Reagan formally apologized and authorized reparations.
I wonder how many of these warnings they get. It’s one thing to flip out that “they were warned and did nothing” if they only get a few warnings and they’re all serious, it’s quite another if they get 1,000,000 warnings and most of them are garbage.
Outlaw Islam
Expel all Muslims
Stop all aid to Muslim lands
His family and classmates warned authorities...
Now we find out the FBI warned MI6 about him.
"See something say something" doesn't seem to be worth a sparrow fart in a hurricane.
