LONDON — Police on Tuesday were facing questions over how one of the London Bridge attackers slipped through the net as British Prime Minister Theresa May continued to come under attack over police funding cuts. At least one of the attackers — Khuram Shazad Butt — who killed seven people during a rampage through central London had been been on the radar of security services. Boris Johnson, Britain’s foreign secretary, said that the police and security services will have questions to answer about why Butt was not stopped. Corbyn, the far-left leader of the opposition Labour Party, accused May of starving police and other security services of personnel and funds. Investigations involving known plots, authorities say, take up the bulk of the security services’ resources.
