Show Notes

The story of Khairi Saadallah, the 25-year-old Libyan knife
attacker in a British park, provides reasons to believe that
his motive could have been terrorism, simple criminal
murder, a psychotic episode or homophobia. Hear why,
what red flags were missed, and how these motives are
not mutually exclusive.

Khairi was referred to UK counterterrorism organizations,
but was not on a watch list. He has a history of
incarceration for various crimes, and had just been
released days before the attack. He also had a history of
psychiatric hospitalizations for various diagnoses and had
been seen by mental health professionals hours before
his attack. His friends told of his homophobia, a
significant piece of the puzzle because the men he killed
and wounded were gay.

After you hear all the gruesome details, you'll ask yourself:
could this attack have been prevented or are there too
many terrorists, criminals and mentally ill to watch them all?
