A report into May 2017 attack says there were ‘missed opportunities’ to prevent or mitigate its ‘devastating impact’.
Suicide bomber Salman Abedi should have been identified as a security threat on the night he detonated an explosive device at the United Kingdom’s Manchester Arena as thousands of people were leaving an Ariana Grande concert, a public inquiry into the deadly 2017 attack has concluded. Inquiry chairman John Saunders said on Thursday there were a number of “missed opportunities” by those in charge of security at the venue in northwest England on the evening of the blast to prevent its “devastating impact”. Twenty-two people were killed in the May 22, 2017, bombing and hundreds of others were wounded.More Related News
