22 Dead As Suicide Bomber Attacks Manchester, United Kingdom
A suicide bomber has perished 22 people – including children – in an
explosion that tore through fans leaving an Ariana Grande pop concert in
Manchester, United Kingdom.
At least 59 people were also injured when the blast caused by an improvised explosive device IED carried by the attacker detonated at the Manchester Arena after the performance on Monday night.
Victims described being thrown by the blast, which scattered nuts and bolts across the floor and told of seeing smoke and smelling burning in the foyer area.
It is the worst terror attack to hit Britain after the July 2005 suicide bomb attacks in central London in which 52 people were killed and came four years to the day Lee Rigby was murdered by Islamist extremists.
Police were informed to reports of an explosion at 10.33pm, shortly after Grande, the US singer, had finished performing as thousands of people streamed out of the Arena.
