A government report on the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby found that the one of the murderers, Michael Adebolajo, had been the subject of five MI5 investigations prior to the crime, including one involving an al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) plot against the West in 2011. The report also found that the other murderer, Michael Adebowale, had communicated online with an extremist overseas six months before the crime about his plan to kill a UK soldier.
