MORE than 200 extremists will reportedly face tough new restrictions and could be banned from cities in the wake of the latest London Bridge attack.
The crackdown on movements comes after Usman Khan butchered two people following his early release from jail, The Times says.

It reports cops, intelligence services and probation chiefs are now examining files on 219 released from prison, or about to be.
It is thought 69 are terror convicts freed before the end of their sentences, while 150 are either convicted terrorists approaching release or were arrested under terror laws but later convicted of lesser offences and are now out.
Earlier, ministers admitted they had no idea how many convicted terrorists in total were due to be released early.
Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said some were still awaiting early release and authorities were powerless to stop them going free.
‘TOO TOUGH TO CRACK’
But neither ministers nor officials were able to say exactly how many.
Officials have insisted that, after Khans attack, all those released early will be under the most stringent conditions.
Mr Buckland told ITV: Im not just looking at people who are out on release. Im looking at people who are due to be released and understand precisely what the position is with them.
After Fridays attack, Boris Johnson told the BBC that 74 convicted of terror offences had been freed early. He said their licence conditions would now be reviewed.
Mr Johnson yesterday said it was probably not possible to deradicalise some terrorists.
And he said someone like Khan was probably too tough to crack.
Asked what to do with such people, he added: A great deal of effort was gone into to try to change him.
But in the end its better for the protection of the public to keep him in, rather than run the risk of letting him out.
