Police said on Monday they had arrested a man for breaching reporting requirements under anti-terror legislation as UK authorities continued an urgent review of convicted terror offenders following Friday’s London Bridge attack. In a statement the Metropolitan Police said it had arrested a 23-year-old man in north London on suspicion of breaching notification requirements on Sunday. Although the Met said it was not linked to the attack carried out by Usman Khan, who killed two people in a knife attack on Friday, the move came hours after police in the West Midlands recalled a convicted jihadi to prison as a result of the review. An official identified the man arrested by West Midlands police as Nazam Hussein, who was convicted alongside Khan in 2012 of a plot to plant a bomb at the London Stock Exchange. He was arrested on the suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts, a suspected breach of his licence conditions. The Ministry of Justice announced the review into the licence conditions for some 74 terrorist offenders who have been released from prison over the weekend.  The justice secretary Robert Buckland told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Monday that the review was more than a paper exercise and that the National Probation Service — the government-run service that monitors high-risk offenders in England and Wales — would be meeting all of them this week.  “It’s not just a paper exercise — it’s a real-life exercise,” he said.
