The terror suspect accused of stabbing three people to death in Reading is believed to be a Libyan refugee who was released from prison just two weeks ago and was previously known to MI5. Saadallah was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and delusional and paranoid schizophrenia, requiring medication before his release, a source told the Sun. However, once in the UK, he ended up in prison after committing several violent, non-terror offences. In 2018, however, Saadallah was granted leave to remain in the UK for five years despite the convictions for violence. Saadallah was given tough licence conditions after his release from prison, but lockdown-hit probation and social services struggled to monitor him.
