Usman Khan was a monster and can never be forgiven

Terrorist attacks are always inexplicable. Why do people of whatever supposed religion hate so much that they have to kill to demonstrate their evil? But in the case of Usman Khan there is another question. Why did he want or need to target the very people who had dedicated their careers to helping people like him - "former" terrorists, murderers and other criminals who had spent years in prison and apparently wanted to be rehabilitated? Khan, a monster of an inhuman being, killed two young Cambridge University graduates who had done everything they could to understand, help and nurture Khan and the others who attended the conference at Fishmongers' Hall near London Bridge. Jack Merritt, aged 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, were both forgiving selfless young people who had chosen to do a job which they hoped would be rewarding and meaningful and fulfilling. Khan had been given special permission to breach his release licence conditions by spending the day in London to attend the conference and benefit from people like Jack and Saskia. It is beyond comprehension that from the moment he was granted permission to travel to London he clearly had only one objective in mind. Did no one in authority think to themselves, this conference is going to be held at London Bridge, scene of an even more devastating terrorist attack two years ago? Would this attack have happened had the conference been held in say, Cambridge or Birmingham or Liverpool? We will never know of course, but the two words, London Bridge, must have set off in Khan's evil mind a thought process that led him to plot murder. All sinners should be forgiven, it is often claimed. But never Usman Khan. The only memory left from this terrorist attack must be the never-to-be-forgotten tragedy of the death of two young inspiring people and the families left to grieve.
