A SENIOR spy has faced a barrage of questions about why MI5 failed to stop the London Bridge attack, which killed eight people.
Amid tight security at the Old Bailey, a top spook known only as “Witness L” gave evidence from behind a screen at an inquest into their deaths today.
The coroner’s counsel, Jonathan Hough QC, demanded to know why MI5 had failed to stop the main attacker Khuram Butt before he led a frenzied van and knife attack in 2017.
Newly revealed documents reveal that MI5 taught Brazilian secret police the techniques deployed by the 1964-85 military dictatorship in horrific prisons like Rio de Janeiro’s House of Death. SARA VIVACQUA reports
