Abu Nusaybah told BBC Two's Newsnight his friend had revealed to him six months ago that the security service had been "knocking on his door". He said Mr Adebolajo told him he had turned down an offer to work for them. The BBC could not obtain any confirmation from Whitehall sources. Mr Nusaybah was arrested at the BBC after giving the interview.[/quote]

The fuck?

Put on your tinfoil hat now to experience this thread in Conspiravision

Is there more sound information than "They knocked on his door" and "because I said so" it doesn't sound very plausible, at all.

Killed a man in the middle of a street for everyone to see then rushed armed policeman with a cleaver only to die. MI5 have really lowered their standards.

[QUOTE=smurfy;40771173]He didn't die, he was captured alive after being shot non-fatally by police[/QUOTE] aren't police trained to neutralize the threat?

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772266]aren't police trained to neutralize the threat?[/QUOTE] what part of "shot" are you missing

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772266]aren't police trained to neutralize the threat?[/QUOTE] he looked pretty neutralised on the floor tbh m8

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772333]no i meant, to shoot to kill and not to cripple the threat[/QUOTE] okay so he didn't die better luck next time huh

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772333]no i meant, to shoot to kill and not to cripple the threat[/QUOTE] I assume when they shot him they were expecting to kill or at least seriously wound them. If this was the one running at the officer that could have complicated things further. Also as for "knocking on his door", perhaps MI5 did knock on his door, not to ask him to work for them but to investigate him??

I misread Mr Nuseybah as Mr Noseybonk and got rather confused

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772333]no i meant, to shoot to kill and not to cripple the threat[/QUOTE] They did neutralize the threat. They also didn't end a life. I'd say that was some damn good police work.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772266]aren't police trained to neutralize the threat?[/QUOTE]They do shoot to kill, like any police officer is trained to do when firearms are involved or their life is in immediate and serious danger. They happened to fail to kill him, so they sensibly didn't finish him off as he ceased to be a threat. Shoot to kill is the initial rule for stopping an armed threat, not an imperative that must be followed all the way through.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40772333]no i meant, to shoot to kill and not to cripple the threat[/QUOTE] What do you want to do? Finish him off? Police do exactly what you said they do "neutralize the threat." It might be splitting hairs, but there's a difference between shooting to kill, and what police do.

Also, why did this guy get arrested?
