Using serious gaps in the British law, more than a dozen dangerous offenders committed terrorism offences while on bail abd 350,000 offences were committed on bail in the last three years. This breach helped them to commit more crimes or escape the country. The Mail Online revealed shocking figures in the UK Ministry of Justice and invited us to raise many questions. In the last three years, 13 suspects allowed to walk free for other offences were arrested for breaching anti-terror laws.The figures, obtained by MailOnline, also show the shocking scale of offences committed by suspects on bail, with one crime every five minutes. The staggering figures, released by the Ministry of Justice under Freedom of Information laws, show that nearly 350,000 offences were committed on bail in the last three years. This equates to one offence every five minutes - sparking yet more fears about the state of Britain's justice system. The statistics raise further questions over the monitoring of terror suspects, such as jihadist Choukri Ellekhlifi, who fled to Syria in 2012 while he was on bail for a spate of violent muggings in London. Ellekhlifi, 22, threatened victims with a Taser-style high-voltage stun gun and forced them to hand over valuables including designer watches and mobile phones, but fled the country before he could face trial. He is believed to have been two years below Mohammed Emwazi - revealed last week to be Jihadi John - at Quintin Kynaston school in north west London and was killed in 2013 near the city of Aleppo. Emwazi was himself on a terror watch list when he travelled to Syria and the Government has admitted that hundreds of ISIS extremists 'slipped through the net' and were not properly monitored by the security services. The figures also make for a chilling comparison to Sydney siege gunman Man Haron Monis, who was on bail in Australia when he took 17 hostages captive in a cafe before killing two. Tory MP Nick de Bois, a member of the Commons Justice Committee, said: 'Any hint that someone may be involved in terrorism and who is facing criminal charges must be remanded in prison - no ifs no buts. 'We have to accept that bail conditions are not tough enough, leaving those with criminal intent to wander our streets. 'If courts are not going to remand defendants in jail then we should at least place them under 24-hour house arrest using electronic tagging to keep them at home rather than free to commit crime.' Magistrates have been under mounting pressure in recent years to remand fewer suspects into custody to ease the burden on over-stretched prisons. Joseph Kotrie-Monson, criminal defence lawyer at Mary Monson Solicitors, said: 'People who have gone on to commit terror offences while on bail would not have been on bail for terror offences or anything in the same category of seriousness. 'If there was any clue to the court granting bail that there was a risk of something of this nature, bail would not have been granted. 'There's a presumption that bail must be sought in all cases except the most serious. The idea of someone having their liberty taken away on suspicion of a minor offence is seen as unconstitutional.' David Green, director of the think-tank Civitas, said: 'The impression the Government is giving is that they are trying to save money by reducing the prison population by giving bail. 'There are many reasons for not giving bail, but often they are very simply ignored by the courts. 'Magistrates, who are possibly under pressure to keep the prison population down, are endangering public safety for the sake of a few pounds.' A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: 'We have already changed the law to allow prosecutors to challenge a Crown Court bail decision where they feel a potentially dangerous prisoner could be bailed. 'The overwhelming majority of people bailed do not re-offend and they are often given strict conditions such as tags and curfews.'
