Abdallah, a terrorist who played a significant role in the radicalization of the Manchester Arena bomber, has been released from prison despite a parole board's previous refusal due to his high risk of causing serious harm and his potential to radicalize others. The UK government emphasizes robust measures for managing such risks.
A TERRORIST who influenced the Manchester Arena bomber has walked free from jail - two months after a parole board deemed him "high risk".Abdallah's release comes just two months after the Parole Board refused to free him early.
The board said he posed a "high risk of serious harm to the public" and still had a "propensity to radicalise others".Horrific moment car ploughs into oncoming traffic after overtaking HGVIn September the Parole Board found that Abdallah "played a significant role in radicalising the Manchester Arena bomber".
The board added: "There was no evidence that he was involved in the attack itself or had any pre-knowledge of it."While in prison, Abdallah has taken part in courses tackling extremist beliefs and terrorist activity.Assessments found that Abdallah posed a "high risk of serious harm to the public". And psychologists said Abdallah still showed "levels of engagement with extremism and intent to commit terrorist-related offending".
A plan for Abdallah's release was deemed "not robust enough" given that he "retained a propensity to radicalise others".A government spokesperson said: "The Manchester Arena bombing was one of the most tragic and cowardly attacks this country has ever seen."The UK has robust measures in place to manage the risk posed by terrorist offenders released from prison and those involved in terrorism-related activity in the community.
