Manchester terror attack: man held over suicide bombing

AKIPRESS.COM - A 23-year-old man has been arrested in the south of London in connection with the Manchester bomb attack, IT reported citing Greater Manchester Police.

The news came shortly after Theresa May, the British prime minister, said UK police and security services believe they know the identity of the suicide bomber who killed at least 22 people, including children, and injured 59 more at the pop concert by Ariane Grande.

His home-made bomb, which witnesses said was packed with nuts and bolts, exploded in the foyer of Manchester Arena shortly after 10.30pm on Monday, as 21,000 fans were leaving the venue. Manchester’s chief constable, Ian Hopkins, said the man was acting alone and was “carrying an improvised explosive device, which he detonated, causing this atrocity”.
