More than 200 terror suspects face being banned from towns and cities across Britain in the wake of the London Bridge attack, it has emerged.
Police, intelligence services and probation bosses are examining files on 219 extremists after the killings by knifeman Usman Khan, who was released from prison early.
It is believed 69 cases being looked at relate to convicted terrorists freed on bail licence before the end of the sentences.
Another group of 150 includes prisoners approaching release, and suspects who were arrested under terrorism laws but later convicted of lesser offences and are now free.

Every terrorist prisoner on licence will be required to meet their probation team and all will have their restrictions reviewed.
New limits on their movements and who they associate with could not be imposed, The Times reports.
It comes as it emerged the leader of the terror cell ailed with Khan in 2012 is making a bid for freedom.
Ringleader Mohammed Chowdhury, 29, is up for parole despite having previously been recalled to prison for breaching his release conditions, the Daily Mirror reports.
He was described as the ‘lynchpin’ of a foiled al-Qaida inspired plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange in 2010.

Khan, 28, who murdered Saska Jones, 23, and Jack Merritt, 25, at a conference for ex prisoners on Friday, was jailed in 2012 with eight others, including Chowdhury, who got 13 years and eight months.
Chowdhury, of East London, was released automatically after half his term in 2017. It is not known why or when he was recalled.
A Parole Board spokesman told the Daily Mirror: ‘A Parole Board spokesman said: ‘We can confirm the parole review of Mohammed Chowdhury has referred to the Board and is following standard processes.’
Khan’s murderous rampage has prompted a review of the threat from other Jihadists. Two released prisoners have been returned to jail.
They are Nazam Hussain, 34, a friend of Khan, who was arrested in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday. The Met Police also said that Yahya Rashid, 23, had been detained in north London for breaching conditions.

The police move came two days after Khan, 28, murdered two people at a prisoner rehabilitation conference less than a year after being released from prison
Yesterday a photo emerged of Khan with hate preacher Anjem Choudary at a Sharia Law conference in Stoke-on-Trent in 2009.
Choudary, 52, was released last year after serving less than half a five-and-a-half-year sentence for inviting support for IS.
Hundreds gathered yesterday for an emotional vigil in Cambridge for the two victims of Friday’s terror attack.
Mr Merritt’s girlfriend Leanne O’Brien cried and held a cuddly toy today as she was supported by family and friends at the event to remember her boyfriend and his colleague Miss Jones, who were both working at the prisoner rehabilitation event.
The Cambridge vigil took place as Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn stood side-by-side to pay their respects at a separate event at Guildhall Yard in London, observing a minute’s silence alongside members of the public.
MPs became further embroiled in an intensifying political row over which party was to blame for the early release of the attacker, who was allowed out halfway through a 16-year jail term for terrorism. He was wearing a tag when he carried out his rampage.
Mr Johnson has been criticised by Mr Merritt’s father for ‘politicising’ the attack and promising tougher sentencing rules to prevent the early release of terrorists.
But the Prime Minister denied exploiting the terror attack for political purposes, saying: ‘Of course I feel as everybody does huge amount of sympathy for the loss of Jack Merritt’s family and all the relatives of Jack and Saskia, but be in no doubt I have campaigned against early release and short sentences for many years.
‘It was in my manifesto in 2012… We have too many people released automatically on our streets.’
