London Bridge terrorist Khuram Butt looked ‘concerned’ in the weeks leading up to the attack, according to a young man who shared the same backstreet gym.
The 20-year-old, who asked not to be named ‘for fear of his life’, said he had first met Butt last month when he signed up to the Ummah Fitness Centre in Ilford.
The gym goer said: ”I met him three weeks ago.
”He speak only with his guys, people who come in robes.
”When I last saw him, he looked concerned. When we speak he does not respond, he was blank.
”He looked preoccupied with something else.
”Before that he would say hello, he was friendly.”
The gym, where Butt was a regular and often volunteered to help out at, was raided by police in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing police enter the gym at around 2.30am and remove IT equipment.
A police cordon was put in place at the gym around at 11.30am today and cops could be seen going door to door and checking under cars.
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
