A report revealed significant flaws in the UK's Prevent anti-terror programme linked to Ali Harbi Ali, the killer of MP Sir David Amess. Security minister Dan Jarvis indicated that Ali was briefly part of the program but was exited too quickly, following a low risk assessment in 2015. Sir David's family criticized Essex Police's handling of the situation, highlighting issues in record-keeping and decision rationales, as well as an outdated vulnerability assessment tool. The review underscores the urgent need for improvements in managing individuals flagged for potential radicalization.
Ali Harbi Ali was removed from the Prevent anti-terror program too quickly, resulting in sub-optimal handling prior to his attack on MP Sir David Amess.
The Prevent Learning Review highlighted that the assessment of Ali's vulnerabilities was problematic, and the rationale for key decisions remained unclear.
