A preliminary report into what the intelligence services knew about the two suspects in the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby will be handed over to an inquiry next week.
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale remain in hospital after being shot by police following the brutal killing of the young father near Woolwich barracks in south east London on Wednesday.
British prime minister David Cameron announced that the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), chaired by former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, would investigate, following the disclosure that the two men were known to MI5.
Sir Malcolm has already been briefed by the director general of MI5, Andrew Parker, who will give a preliminary report to the committee next week.
“I had a preliminary briefing from Andrew Parker a couple of days ago. We agreed the committee would receive a written report next week,” Sir Malcolm said.
“What we will be wishing to know is to what extent the intelligence services had any awareness of the two individuals.”
Separately, it was claimed MI5 asked Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo if he wanted to work for them about six months before the killing, a childhood friend has said.
Abu Nusaybah told BBC Newsnight his friend - one of two men arrested after Drummer Lee Rigby’s murder in London on Wednesday - had rejected the approach.
The BBC said it could not obtain any confirmation from Whitehall sources.
Abu Nusaybah was arrested at the BBC after giving the interview.
Newsnight reporter Richard Watson said after the interview had concluded he left the studio to find officers from the Metropolitan Police counter terrorism unit waiting to arrest Mr Nusaybah.
The police confirmed a 31-year-old man had been arrested in relation to suspected terrorism offences and search warrants were being executed at two homes in east London. But the arrest was not directly related to the murder of Drummer Rigby.
Meanwhile, Mr Rigby’s family paid a touching tribute to the soldier as detectives continued a rapidly-developing investigation into his barbaric killing.
