Family of Woolwich suspect 'approached by MI5 & MI6'

ITV News has uncovered claims that the family of Woolwich suspect Michael Adebalajo was approached by British security services MI5 and MI6. The claims come from former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg. He runs a charity which lobbies on behalf of terror suspects. Speaking to ITV News he said:

"He came to our organisation sometime in April 2012 with some members of his family, who'd spoken about the approach to him and members of the family by the security services. They were in a state of great worry and didn't know what to do.

"His immediate family members had been approached in order that he work with them."
