‘Why were they in the UK?’: Manchester attacker’s ‘poisonous beliefs’ slammed

Sky News host Rita Panahi has questioned why the man behind the Manchester synagogue attack was allowed in the United Kingdom despite his “poisonous beliefs”.

“It is just so sinister,” Ms Panahi said.

“There is a recognisable threat and risk, and we saw that play out in the UK.

“This character that has been apprehended, Jihad al-Shami, you look at the family there, you look at what was said publicly, why were they in the UK? Why were they allowed to migrate to the UK with such poisonous beliefs?”
