Reading terror suspect came to UK as refugee from Libyan civil war

Close family member of Khairi Saadallah, 25, fought in Libya against Gaddafi

Khairi Saadallah, the suspect in the Reading terror attack, is understood to be a Libyan national who came to Britain as a refugee from the country's civil war, which began in 2014 during attempts to build a democratic state after the fall of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

Neighbours said a close family member of Saadallah's had fought in Libya against Gaddafi and had faced anti-Muslim abuse after the family's arrival in the UK.
