Staff writer, with agenciesBritain’s political leaders are sparring over who is responsible for the early release of a convicted extremist who launched a stabbing attack in central London on Friday that left two people dead and three injured. The argument centers over the early release from prison of Usman Khan, who served about half his sentence before being set free. After a one-day pause out of respect for victims, the Friday attack is dominating the political scene as the election nears. He also announced plans to review Britain’s security, defense and foreign policy in the wake of the terror attack, which came ahead of a NATO summit that begins in London later today. He said he understood that the Parole Board was not involved in Khan’s early release and there was no probation service involvement in monitoring him.
