Intelligence agents gave bomber the all-clear

BRITISH secret services last year vetted one of the bombers behind the London attacks and judged he was not a threat, reports claimed yesterday.

Meanwhile police continued to search for a support network of planners, bomb-makers and financiers.

The Sunday Times, citing a senior government source, said intelligence agency MI5 had assessed the eldest of the bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan, but concluded he posed no threat and failed to put him under surveillance.
