According to reports, an anonymous source in the security department revealed that the arrested man was a Libyan called Khaira Saadallah. The source said that Sadara was under surveillance by the British Intelligence and National Security Agency MI5 in 2019 because intelligence showed that he was eager to take "travel with extremist purposes", but his plan was not realized.
Regarding media reports, Broken Hill said that the government would not comment on intelligence matters.
British Prime Minister Johnson had previously held meetings with British security officials, police and senior ministers on the incident. Johnson said that he was "shocked and disgusted" by the terrorist attack and promised to learn from his experience and will "take no hesitation in the event of similar incidents in the future."
In November 2019, the United Kingdom downgraded the terrorist threat level from the highest level of "severe" to the second level of "significant". Anti-terrorism experts pointed out that this does not mean that the possibility of terrorist attacks is greatly reduced.
