Usman Khan, was a convicted of terrorist who plotted to bomb the London Stock Exchange and had been released from prison with an ankle monitor.
***
Usman Khan was born in Stoke-on-Trent to working-class immigrant parents from Azad Kashmir.
Usman Khan was part of a gang of nine extremists from Stoke-on-Trent, Cardiff and London who were sentenced in February 2012 at Woolwich Crown Court.
***
Most of the gang members were British Bangladeshis and three of them were born were born in Bangladesh while all the rest were British born.
Khan went to a local Stoke school and dropped out without any qualifications. Coming from a deprived and socially excluded background, Usman Khan started hanging around with local street gangs and drug pushers in the area.
***
He lived for a large part of his life on Persia Walk. As he grew up, he started mixing with religious radicals. He was often seen doing stalls of "dahwa" in Stoke for the proscribed terrorist organisation al-Muhajiroun, which was once led by solicitor-turned-hate preacher Anjem Chowdhury.
The nine-members gang included
- Mohammed Shahjahan,
- Omar Latif,
- Nazam Hussain,
- Usman Khan,
- Mohibur Rahman,
- Mohammed Chowdhury,
- Shah Rahman,
- Gurukanth Desai and
- Abdul Miah.
Mohammed Chowdhury was the lynchpin of the terror group.
***
All of the gang members had admitted the charges of preparing for acts of terrorism. The gang, led by Bangladeshi extremists, talked to each other through dawah – proselytising - or by Paltalk or other internet messaging. The London-based Bangladeshi gang members visited London Stock Exchange, Whitehall, American embassy and other locations for surveillance while preparing acts of terrorism. They were being secretly filmed while visiting the potential terror sites.
***
The judge had warned that Khan was a serious militant who should not be released while he remained a threat to the public. But that Khan, 28, from Staffordshire, had been freed from prison on an electronic tag.
***
The London Bridge attacker had asked for help to be deradicalised while he was in prison, but none was forthcoming, his solicitor has claimed.
Vajahat Sharif told the Guardian Usman Khan had come to realise that violent extremism was wrong and accepted his understanding of Islam was deficient.
***
Usman Khan was a "Guest Lecturer" at Cambridge U on "Prisoner Rehabilitation" in the morning of 29/11/2019
***
Khan was wearing a fake suicide vest and electronic tag when he attended the Learning Together criminal justice conference at Fishmongers’ Hall on London Bridge. He was allowed with other convicted prisoners to attend the course for rehabilitation of prisoners and convicts.
***
Khan, 28, killed two people and injured three others before being shot dead by police during a stabbing rampage at London Bridge on Friday afternoon. After his conviction in 2012 he was given an indeterminate jail sentence, with a minimum term of eight years. On appeal in 2013, it was replaced with a 16-year, fixed-term sentence and an extended period on licence.
***
Sharif said Khan, whom he last spoke to in March, was released to a bail hostel from where he had to report to a police station every day, had interactions with the probation service and had to wear a tag

The hero Polish chef who took on the London Bridge attacker with a narwhal tusk has been released from hospital.
The man, whose name is Lukasz, has won admiration from the Queen, political leaders and grateful Londoners after fighting Usman Khan on London Bridge while others battled the terrorist with a fire extinguisher.
Poland's government has already announced plans to award Lukasz a medal for 'sacrifice and courage', praising him for 'helping to overpower the terrorist'.
Last night sources in the Warsaw foreign ministry told Polish media that Lukasz had been released from hospital, where he was treated for stab wounds but was not critically hurt.
