Security service MI5 today said sorry for not preventing the Manchester Arena terror bombing after a report found opportunities were missed.
Director General, Ken McCallum, issued a statement after significant 'missed opportunities' to take action that might have prevented the attack were laid out in the third and final report arising from the public inquiry into the 2017 atrocity.
He said the chairman of the inquiry, Sir John Saunders, had found 'there was a realistic possibility that actionable intelligence could have been obtained which might have led to actions preventing the attack'.
