Introduction – June 21, 2020

The media were suspiciously quite about this incident until the police confirmed that the stabbings, which left three dead, were being treated as a “terror incident”. Whereupon the suspect in the knife rampage in a Reading park was named as Khairi Saadallah, an asylum seeker originally from Libya.
Thing is Saadallah had already been to prison since he first arrived in Britain several years ago as a refugee. He is also believed to have mental health problems, which no doubt played a major part in the incident.
His reaction when police apprehended him tends to underline this, as witnesses described how he had stood staring without even blinking when he was arrested.
According delivery driver Amir Hadyoon, 31, the suspect was covered in blood when he was arrested on Friar Street in Reading, a short distance from the site of the stabbings.
Mr Hadyoon told reporters the man had not resisted the officers, adding: “To me it looked very weird because he didn’t say a word. He didn’t care, he was just staring… he was just completely silent.
“He wasn’t even blinking, he looked really weird.”

James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado shooter

Does this sound familiar? His response is strangely reminiscent of James Holmes, the gunman who killed 12 people in a movie house in Aurora, Colorado in 2012.
During his court appearances Holmes had also appeared “dazed and confused” and sat simply staring ahead. Leading to speculation that he was on drugs or was a subject of mind control, steered by one of the “security” organisations.
Curiously, the public and the press were barred from court hearings on James Holmes sanity. Why? Did the U.S. security agencies have something to hide?
Now it transpires that Khairi Saadallah was also known to British “security”. According to the BBC:
Security sources say the suspect came to the attention of the security services after they received information he had aspirations to travel abroad potentially for terrorism, according to the BBC’s home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani.
The BBC claim that “no genuine threat or immediate risk was identified”, which misses the point. Was Saadallah actually being groomed to carry out “terror attacks”?
Certainly Saadallah is not the first Libyan refugee-asylum seeker to go rogue. In 2017, British-born Salman Abedi, the son of a Libyan national who had been trained by British intelligence to help oust Colonel Gaddafi, was linked to the Manchester City bombing.

Police have declared a knife rampage that killed three in Reading as a terror incident.

The man arrested at the scene yesterday is Khairi Saadallah, a 25-year-old refugee from Libya, The Telegraph can reveal.

Mr Saadallah was detained by police in Forbury Gardens on Saturday evening.

Witnesses claimed he approached a group of middle aged men who had been sat drinking in the park and suddenly began stabbing at them.

Three men died in the attack and one other remains in hospital in a stable condition. Another has been discharged.

It is understood Mr Saadallah came to Britain several years ago as a refugee following the civil war in Libya.

Mental health is being considered a major factor in the incident, security source said.

Armed counter terrorism police raided his flat in nearby Basingstoke Road late on Saturday night and removed a number of items including a large circular saw.

Neil Basu, the head of Counter Terror Police, said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

“There is no specific intelligence to suggest that anyone attending crowded places is at risk,” he added.
