London terrorists laugh & hug in secret meeting days before attack

This is the moment the London Bridge terrorists were caught on CCTV laughing and hugging as they spoke together less than a week before their van and knife rampage.
Khuram Butt, 27, Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 22, met outside an all-Muslim gym in Ilford at ten minutes past midnight on Monday, May 29.
The clandestine meeting was five days before the trio mounted a van and knife attack on drinkers that killed eight people and injured dozens before they were shot dead by police.
Footage obtained by The Times showed the three terrorists talking outside the Ummah Fitness Centre, where Butt had a job.
The film taken just after midnight on Monday May 29 showed how Redouane placed his mobile phone on a nearby pile of building materials, before the group moved out of camera for around 10 minutes.
Redouan’s actions suggest they were concerned that they could have been monitored by the security services and took steps to ensure that their conversation was not overheard.
At the end of the meeting the three extremists return to view in the CCTV clip and Redouan retrieved the mobile that he had left behind.
He then unrolled his trousers grinning, as Zaghba hugged Butt, in the clip obtained by the Times.
It is understood the footage is now being examined by police as part of their investigation into the three men.
The CCTV ended as Zaghba and Redouane walk away and Butt went back to work at the gym – over the period of Ramadan it is open until 3am and is used as a space to conduct evening prayers.
Khuram Butt, 27, worked at Ummah Fitness in Ilford with Sajeel Shahid, 41, a member of Anjem Choudary's al-Muhajiroun network who was accused of helping train the 7/7 bomb ringleader Mohammed Siddique Khan.
Yet Butt was deemed a 'low priority' by police and MI5 despite his links to Choudary, Europe's most notorious hate preacher.
The father-of-two, 27, was probed two years before his murderous rampage but officials downgraded the investigation because they did not suspect he was planning an attack.
The London Bridge attacker himself became a supporter and trusted lieutenant of Choudary and he helped run high-octane mixed martial arts classes and he used the gym to approach young people for radicalisation, according to The Times.
He was also a friend of masked murderer Siddhartha Dhar, dubbed 'Jihadi Sid', who was dubbed the new Jihadi John when he appeared in an gruesome ISIS execution film after fleeing to Syria.
