One of Stephen Lawrence's killers clashed behind bars with Manchester Arena bomb plotter Hashem Abedi, a new document has shown.
David Norris, who was jailed for at least 14 years in 2012 over his role in the racially-motivated murder of 18-year-old Mr Lawrence in south east London in 1993, "swore" at Abedi and called him a "terrorist" during the altercation.
The incident came to light following the rejection of the killer's bid for release last week.
A report released by the Parole Board highlighted concerns about Norris' behaviour, including racist attitudes.

Norris claimed the clash with Abedi followed a year-long period of segregation, which "all got too much one day" and led to him having "threatened another prisoner".
The report reads: "He said it was the ‘Manchester bomber’ and they 'all took umbrage with him'.
"He said he called the prisoner a terrorist and swore at him, but had not used the racial slur.
"He said it had been an offence-based response, not a racial issue.

"Mr Norris said he had been raising money for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing at the time.
"He accepted it was 'not his place to be dishing out justice' but he was stressed and 'terrorism has always riled me, going back to the IRA'."
Abedi was convicted of assisting with the Manchester terror plot, in which his brother, suicide bomber Salman Abedi, killed 22 people by detonating a homemade rucksack bomb among a crowd of concert-goers in May 2017.
He was jailed for life with a record-breaking 55-year minimum term in August 2020.

The 28-year-old appeared at the Old Bailey in October by videolink from Belmarsh top security jail in south London accused of the attempted murder of three prison officers.
Prosecutors allege the officers were attacked "using hot oil and makeshift weapons" which Abedi "constructed himself".
The court was told that during the attack, Abedi shouted out "Allahu akbar" twice.
Abedi pleaded not guilty to the attempted murders of three prison officers and assault of a fourth officer.
His next court hearing is due to take place on January 30, 2026.
Norris, meanwhile, remains behind bars after the Parole Board panel found that he should not be released from jail, or moved to open conditions.
Members considered the seriousness of his crime, which "devastated the lives of the family and friends of Stephen Lawrence", and a series of incidents where he is accused of breaking prison rules.
These included getting a tattoo, and being found with two secret phones and a screwdriver in 2016, as well as smoking "one puff" of a cannabis joint in 2023 that he said was laced with other drugs.
Mr Lawrence was killed during an assault which police believe to have been carried out by five or six men but only two, including Norris and Gary Dobson, have ever been brought to justice.
