Butt was a father of two who worked at KFC.
The TV documentary was broadcast in January 2016 and now British authorities are coming under heat how could he have slipped through the cracks.
On Saturday, he and two other terrorists killed seven people as they mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge before emerging from the van and stabbing people at random.
Butt and his terrorist cohorts were killed by police, who fired off more than 50 bullets in just several seconds.

Security in cities across America has been intensified as a result of the London attack, with an elite counter-terrorism unit deployed in Manhattan's Times Square.
London Bridge reopened Monday with sidewalks covered in flowers to honor those mowed down or knifed to death in the attack.

Inside Edition caught up with James Corden as he was preparing to broadcast The Late Late Show from London.
“It's unbelievably sad, it's tragic," Corden said. "It's a tragedy beyond belief and you sort of wonder how many times you have to turn on the television or radio and hear this news and hear these reports."
