Police believe that he came into contact with more than 100 children, some of whom have since received de-radicalisation support.Haque was arrested two weeks before the London Bridge and Borough Market terror attack in London in June 2017. Mamun, accused of helping Haque research and finance the plans, and Muhammad Abid, who failed to alert the police of Haque's plans, were found guilty of the charges. Haque became a priority for the UK's security services after he was stopped from leaving the UK in April 2016 because of suspicions he was heading to Syria. They continued to monitor him, including recording his conversations, and Metropolitan Police arrested him as his plans became clear. Police searches of Haque's home found a notebook detailing his beliefs in martyrdom and an attack to-do list including to purchase weapons.
