The terror suspect who stabbed two people on a London Street has been named by police.
Sudesh Amman was shot dead by police in Streatham, South London earlier today after two people were stabbed.
18-year-old Amman had only recently released from prison having previously been sentenced in December 2018 for possessing and distributing terrorist material.
Described as 'knife-obsessed' Amman had been caught with instructions on bomb-making - including one titled 'How to Make A Bomb in your Kitchen', reports the Mirror.
The college student from Harrow, Middlesex also kept a notebook in which he had set out his "goal" to become a martyr, a court at the time learnt.
In other online chats, Amman told his girlfriend of his hatred for “kuffars” (non-believers), his allegiance to ISIS and his wish to carry out a terror attack.
A Whitehall source said: "He was under surveillance, that is what allowed police to do their job so quickly. It could have been much worse than it was.
"There had been concerns when he was in prison but there were no powers for any authority to keep him behind bars.
"There was nothing that could be done to keep him behind bars under existing laws, hence why he was under surveillance and strict licencing conditions.
"He had served half of his sentence, which was more than three years, so had to be released despite concerns over his conduct.
"The public will look at this case and say why was this individual not kept behind bars and the Prime Minister shares that view.
"This shines a light on something that clearly needs addressing."
