Written question asked by Kenny MacAskill (Alba Party) on Friday, 17 June 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 22 June 2022 (named day). It was answered by James Heappey (Conservative) on Wednesday, 22 June 2022 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Hashem Abedi and Salman Abedi

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether Salman and Hashem Abedi were rescued from Libya by the Royal Navy in August 2014.

Answer

As stated in my previous response to the hon. Member's Question 19000, the Ministry of Defence is aware of the historic Libyan links of the two named individuals (Salman Abedi and Hashem Abedi).

However, given the fact that this is a Named Day question, the Department would be happy to provide the hon. Member with a fuller written answer to facilitate interrogation of the relevant records relating to Operation Overleap in 2014.
