Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph reports on how attackers Khuram Butt was investigated by MI5 for his extremist views. The "brazen" jihadi even appeared in a Channel 4 documentary about home-grown radicals, it says.
The Times reports that Butt also worked at an all-Muslim gym run by the man accused of training the 7/7 suicide bombers.
