"MI5 are not fit to keep us safe", says father of youngest victim of Manchester Arena attack

The father of the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombing said M15 are 'not fit to keep us safe' as its boss said he was 'profoundly sorry' the tragic attack was not stopped.

The families of Manchester Arena bombing victims slammed the institutions and organisations cited in the inquiry into the atrocity which led to the deaths of 22 people on May 22, 2017. There was 'a significant missed opportunity to take action' on the part of MI5, the chairman found in the third and final public inquiry report.

Andrew Roussos, whose daughter Saffie-Rose, eight, was killed in the blast, said hearing about how the 'tragedy might have been avoided' was 'devastating' for families involved.
