Khuram Butt appeared in ‘The Jihadis Next Door’, a film exploring extremism in Britain. The documentary showed Butt displaying the Black Standard, a flag associated with the Islamic State (IS, Formerly ISIS/ISIL), in London’s Regent Park.

The documentary was filmed at events attended by notorious Islamic preachers Abu Rumaysah and Abu Haleema. Pakistan-born Butt was featured for being part of a “group of British extremists intent on spreading their message of global jihad,” the documentary said.

Netflix removed the content globally at the request of the distributor, said a spokesperson to RT. The documentary has also been removed from Channel 4’s webpage.

Seven people were killed and 48 injured when Butt and accomplices Youssef Zaghba and Rachid Redouane used a van to run down pedestrians on London Bridge. They then went on a knife rampage in Borough Market. The attack, which left a further 21 people critically injured, ended when police shot and killed the three attackers.
