Manchester terror attack: British police have 'got hold of a large part' of the network behind Salman Abedi

British police has “got hold of a large part” of the network linked to the suicide bomb attack at a pop concert in Manchester that killed 22 people. London: British police has “got hold of a large part” of the network linked to the suicide bomb attack at a pop concert in Manchester that killed 22 people, the country’s counter-terrorism police chief announced today. Rowley said “Broadly speaking, as with any investigation of this nature, we are focusing on understanding Abedi’s life; forensically examining a number of scenes, reviewing hours of CCTV from the night itself and the hours and before, financial work, communication, digital exhibits, the accounts from hundreds of witnesses and of course enquiries internationally.” Some news reports indicated that security forces were on the hunt for a second device made by Abedi, which may now be with a member of this network. The UK terror threat level remains “critical”, meaning another attack could be imminent and additional Army and armed police officers are patrolling major sites, including the transport network, across the UK.
