Woolwich attack: MI5 'offered job to suspect'
MI5 asked Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo if he wanted to work for them, a childhood friend has said.Abu Nusaybah told BBC Two's Newsnight his friend had revealed to him six months ago that the security service had been "knocking on his door". He said Mr Adebolajo told him he had turned down an offer to work for them. The BBC could not obtain any confirmation from Whitehall sources. Mr Nusaybah was arrested at the BBC after giving the interview. Mr Nusaybah said that, six months ago, his friend was "basically being harassed by MI5, this is something that he specifically mentioned to me". He added: "His wording was, 'They are bugging me - they won't leave me alone.' "He mentioned initially they wanted to ask him if he knew certain individuals. "But after him saying that he didn't know these individuals, what he said was they asked him if he would be interested in working for them. "He was explicit in that he refused to work for them but he did confirm he didn't know the individuals." Posted by: tipper 2013-05-24 |
