LONDON—UK security services missed opportunities to prevent the bombing attack that killed 22 people, including children, at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester last year, according to a major new report.

The report, by a lawmaker’s security committee, is the latest to criticize Britain’s MI5 intelligence service for shortcomings over four ISIS-inspired terror attacks in 2017 that left 35 dead.
