Staff members at Ali Harbi Ali's school expressed reluctance to seek additional funding for sessions with him due to fears of appearing greedy, despite concerns about his radicalization. Lord David Anderson's report deemed these claims of limited credibility, noting that staff stopped working with Ali prematurely. Seven years later, Ali fatally stabbed Conservative MP Sir David Amess with a 12-inch knife, motivated by his views against UK involvement in Iraq and Syria. The report highlighted long-standing failings by Prevent but concluded no alternative actions would have changed the outcome of the assassination.
"Ali Harbi Ali, who killed Sir David Amess on October 15, 2021, was radicalized by Islamic State propaganda and was a lone actor in the attack."
"Lord David Anderson stated there was no evidence that different actions by Prevent would have prevented the assassination of Sir David Amess."
