But they thought he might be planning to assassinate a key political figure

MI5 investigated but 'nothing came of it' and he slipped down the pecking order

It will pile more pressure on MI5 to reveal when and how they knew of Abedi

UK security chiefs were warned in January that Salman Abedi was planning an attack in Britain, it was claimed last night.

According to a security source, the FBI told MI5 that Abedi was part of a North African Islamic State cell plotting to strike a political target in the UK.

The information came from a US investigation into Abedi and his links to terrorist groups in Libya. The Mail on Sunday has also been told that US security services put him on a terror watch list – used by agents to identify key suspects – in 2016.

The shocking claim piles further pressure on MI5 to reveal when and how it became aware of Abedi, and why UK spies decided he did not pose a significant threat to British security.

The source told The Mail on Sunday: '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 information came from the interception of his communications by US federal agents, who had been investigating Abedi since the middle of 2016, and from information unearthed in Libya, where his family was linked to terrorist groups.

'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.'

Last night, The Mail on Sunday put the claim to the FBI but a bureau spokesman declined to comment, while UK security sources did not confirm the specific claim about the tip-off.

Theresa May, the PM, used to be Home Secretary meaning she was in charge of MI 5.

The fact that FBI knew what was coming in Manchester and warned MI 5 of it, tells me there is a fly in the ointment. And it is certain there was a sticky wicket in there somewhere. ;)
