In the first bonus episode of The Crime Agents, Andy takes us inside the high-stakes hunt for convicted terrorist Abdalraouf Abdallah, and reveals what happened behind the scenes when they came face to face in Manchester.

Neil questions Andy's sanity for confronting a known extremist - and reveals some of the surveillance tactics police use to keep tabs on terror suspects.

Plus - the pair are joined for an exclusive interview by Richard Smith, the UK's Senior National Coordinator for Counter-Terrorism Policing, who reacts to Andy's story that hundreds of convicted extremists are back on Britain's streets after being freed from prison.

As the twenty year anniversary of the 7/7 attacks in London approaches, Andy Hughes reveals the shocking number of convicted terrorists who have been released from prison in the last two decades. Incredibly, hundreds of these criminals refused to take part in deradicalisation schemes while serving their sentences - and were considered unsafe for release by the authorities.

Neil Basu explains whether the UK's terror sentencing system is fit for purpose, and in a major Crime Agents exclusive, Andy tracks down and confronts a notorious terrorist outside his local mosque in Manchester. You won't want to miss what happens next.

Plus - Neil warns that the terror threat level in the UK could be increased if the war between Israel and Iran continues, and tensions rise even higher in the Middle East, and he reacts to the news that the government is considering proscribing the controversial protest group Palestine Action.
