(BBC) A terrorist friend of Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi has been freed from jail.
Abdalraouf Abdallah, who was a childhood friend of Abedi, was released from HMP Full Sutton in East Yorkshire on Tuesday when his sentence came to an end.
The release came after the Parole Board had refused to free him early because he had still been considered a “high risk of serious harm” and was considered to have had a “high propensity to radicalise others.”
The 31-year-old had been recalled to prison for breaching licence conditions in 2021.
Despite losing his latest Parole Board appeal two months ago, Abdallah was eligible for automatic release from prison because his sentence — set in court by a judge — had expired.
