Terrorist who stabbed 2 had been freed from jail ten days earlier despite cops’ pleas to keep him locked up
A TERRORIST who stabbed two people had been freed from jail ten days earlier despite pleas to keep him locked up, an inquest heard yesterday.
Sudesh Amman, 20, left a pledge of allegiance to IS, hand-written in Arabic, in his cell at HMP Belmarsh shortly before his release.
He also told a con that he was “not finished with these non-believers yet”.
Counter-terror police were so concerned that they wrote to Belmarsh’s governor to urge him not to release him.
But the request was turned down as the offence of possessing terror material for which Amman was serving 40 months did not justify a sentence extension.

Once he was out, MI5 and police began surveillance and Amman was shot dead following his attack in Streatham, South London, on February 2.
The man and woman he stabbed survived their injuries.
The inquest at London’s Royal Courts of Justice is expected to last for three weeks.
