Did 'Sister Aaliya' meet London bomber Rachid Redouane and Khuram Butt or not?

Irish woman claims second London attacker was also in Ireland Nicola Anderson Irihs Independent June 10 2017

She met the two London Bridge terrorists Khuram Butt and Rachid Redouane on at least 20 occasions both here and in the UK, she said.

When you watch the video you'll hear she was referring to Butt and Chourdary not Butt and Redouane.

Irish Muslim convert who had 'teen crush' on Osama bin Laden stirs up security concerns Maeve Sheehan June 11 2017
Then he introduces Sister Aaliya, a 26-year-old Irish Muslim convert who moved to London, was radicalised by the notorious and now-jailed "hate preacher" Anjem Choudary, and who knew one of the three jihadis behind the London Bridge terrorist attack last weekend.

This was not Rachid Redouane, whom police confirmed last week lived in Dublin until September 2015. It was the suspected terrorist ringleader Khuram Butt...

Irishwoman claims second London attacker was also in Ireland Jun 9, 2017
Elaine Edwards Irish Times.

The Irish Times has a longer video and explicit reports that she "did not know Redouane".
The woman, who identified herself only as Sister Aaliya and who wore sunglasses and black niqab covering the lower part of her face during the press conference, said she did not know Redouane.

Last June, Sister Aaliya said she had never met Redouane

In the Independent video the reporter asks her if she met them (the London bombers) and she replies she met them on many occasions here and in the UK, but as you see in both videos she never explicitly says she met Redouane. In the main press conference shown on the Irish Times video she talks of meeting Butt and Chourdary many times (rather then Butt and Redouane).

I contacted the Independent journalist and she refused to acknowledge the possibility she made a mistake. I also emailed the paper corrections email and editor, no response.

The Irish Examiner made a similar mistake to the Indo, including Redoune in her claims, even though she was not referring to him. Gardaí step up attack probes after claims Irish Examiner 4 Jun 2017 Cormac O’Keeffe
"She claimed she saw him in Ireland “two or three times” and that he, Redouane, and other extremists operated out of a house in the Santry"

Did she meet Khuram Butt in Ireland in England or at all?

It was during this period that she claims Khuram Butt stayed with them on numerous occasions - although the officer in charge of the State’s counter-terrorism agency tells the programme that Gardaí are satisfied he never visited the country.




If she says she met Khuram Butt in Ireland but Gardai said he never came here did she only meet him in England, or not at all?
