London Bridge terrorist worked at Westminster tube station: Had access to tunnels located under UK Parliament

Khuram Butt was familiar to London and UK law enforcement. Butt had known connections to radical Islamic terrorists and appeared in a jihadi documentary.

From the Daily Mail:

The police and MI5 insisted one of the London Bridge killers was not dangerous despite an attempt to travel to Syria, his links to a 7/7 bomber and a starring role in a Channel 4 documentary on British jihadis watched by millions, it was revealed today.

Khuram Butt, 27, was probed two years before his murderous rampage but officials downgraded the investigation because they did not suspect the married father of two was planning an attack.

Incredibly last year he even secured a job working on the Tube and had access to tunnels under the Houses of Parliament while working at Westminster station.
