Sir Peter Fahy: 'Naseer should have been prosecuted here'

Sir Peter Fahy, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, told the programme Abid Naseer should have been prosecuted in the UK.

Naseer was found guilty by a US court of being part of a trans-Atlantic al-Qaeda conspiracy.

Sir Peter said the necessity of early intervention into an investigation into a plot to blow up a Manchester shopping centre meant that the police were unable to gather all the evidence required for a conviction in the UK.

"When you're basing it on intelligence you actually have to intervene earlier when you are faced with what could have been an absolute tragedy," he said.
