Betrayal of a hero father: How MI5 spent EIGHT YEARS watching violent ex-prisoner who preached outside Poundland just yards from murder scene only days before soldier was hacked to death

MI5 had been monitoring the two fanatics responsible for the slaughter of a young soldier Drummer Lee Rigby (pictured right with his wife Rebecca at their wedding in 2007) near Woolwich barracks in south-east London, it emerged last night. The Security Service is facing an inquiry by MPs amid a raft of devastating revelations about the killers’ known links to Islamist extremism. One of the pair - Michael Adebolajo (pictured left fighting with police outside the Old Bailey in 2006) - was so high profile he was photographed outside Paddington Green police station six years ago behind notorious hate preacher Anjem Choudary.
