yep, mutl plotter here, it was a whole family affair he was already tagged by mc1 or whatever they are called and there were major hot hits that should have gotten him under 24hr obsevation including just coming back into the country after his parents had left. He never should have been allowed back in

An extraordinary picture of the family of Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi has emerged tonight, as his father who had Al-Qaeda links and his younger brother were arrested in Tripoli.

Salman killed 22 people and injured at least 119 more when he detonated a bomb on Monday night as children were piling out of the venue having watched Ariana Grande.

The mass-murderer had only just returned from a three-week trip to war-torn Libya before launching his horrifying attack, friends said.

That revelation came as his father, Ramadan, was arrested by masked gunmen in Tripoli this evening while recording TV interviews in the country.

Earlier he had claimed his son seemed 'normal' when they last spoke five days ago and insisted: 'We don't believe in killing innocents.'



Abedi's younger brother Hashem has also been arrested in Tripoli, Libya, on suspicion of having links to the ISIS who claimed responsibility for Monday night's atrocity.

He was 'aware of all the details' of his plans, a Libyan security force said.

Salman's older brother Ismail, 23, was arrested yesterday in Chorlton, south Manchester. He is still being quizzed by police, who are probing the family's links to a terror network.

THE KEY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ABEDI FAMILY
By Thomas Burrows

What were Salman Abedi's father's links to terror groups?

Ramadan, a former airport security worker, was a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting group in the 1990s, according to a former Libyan security official. The group had links to Al-Qaeda. Although the LIFG disbanded, he reportedly belongs to the Salafi Jihadi movement, the most extreme sect of Salafism and from which Al-Qaeda and ISIS hail. Ramadan's wife, Samia, is a close friend of the wife of Abu Anas al-Libi, an Al-Qaeda veteran who was snatched off the streets of Tripoli in 2013 by US special forces.

What were his brothers, Hashem and Ismail's links to terror groups?

Hashem had posted comments on ISIS-supporting sites. The Libyan security force claimed he told authorities both he and his brother belonged to ISIS. The Special Deterrent anti-terror force said Hashem was receiving cash transferred from Salman. Ismail, who was arrested on Tuesday in south Manchester, was once reported to a counter- terrorism unit after concerns were raised by members of the Muslim community.

How much was known about Salman prior to Monday night's attack?

Two people who knew Salman are said to have called the police counter-terrorism hotline five years ago to raise concerns that he thought 'being a suicide bomber was OK'. And a senior US intelligence official has claimed that members of his own family had warned police that he was 'dangerous'.

Why was he allowed to travel freely between Libya and the UK?

UK border checks were branded a 'shambles' after it emerged the suicide bomber had travelled to ISIS strongholds Syria and Libya before being able to come 'straight through' to Britain. Labour's Khalid Mahmood told MailOnline the case of Abedi demonstrated the weakness of Britain's border check system and claimed border staff had been reduced by 50 per cent since 2010.

Had Salman been to Syria?

France's interior minister Gerard Collomb told French TV that both British and French intelligence services had information that the attacker had been in Syria. Asked if he believed Abedi had the support of a network, Collomb said: 'That is not known yet, but perhaps. In any case, (he had) links with Daesh (ISIS) that are proven.'

Manchester as a teenager.

According to schoolmates of the 22-year-old killer, the pictures were taken near his home in South Manchester and on a trip in his parents' home country of Libya when he was 14 or 15.

The 'ordinary' teenager posing in the new photographs was described as 'quiet' and 'not the sort of kid that stood out'.

Friends told MailOnline he showed little interest in religion, adding that he even smoked cannabis.

People had contacted authoritites in the past that he was potentially dangerous:

@PsychoKitty All great questions.

Eight men are now in custody.

Police have arrested a man in the Moss Side area of Manchester in connection with Monday's attack at the city's Arena venue that killed 22 people.

He is one of eight men now in custody as part of the investigation, Greater Manchester Police have said.

Police believe Manchester-born suicide bomber Salman Abedi, 22 from a family of Libyan origin, acted as part of a network.

In total, 10 people have been arrested in the UK but two were later released.

All the suspects arrested over last month’s Manchester concert bombing have been released without charge, British police said Sunday, acknowledging that detectives are still not sure whether the attacker had accomplices.

Salman Abedi, a Briton of Libyan heritage, detonated a knapsack bomb as crowds were leaving an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, killing 22 people and himself.

Shortly after the attack, police said they had rounded up members of Abedi’s network. But Greater Manchester Police said Sunday that all 22 people arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses have now been released without charge.

Russ Jackson, head of counterterrorism policing for northwest England, said police believe Abedi assembled the bomb himself, but it’s unclear “whether he acted alone in obtaining the materials for the device … and whether others knew or were complicit in the storage of materials knowing what was being planned.”

Jackson said some of those arrested had offered “accounts which explain innocent contact with Abedi.” He said risk to the public had been considered before suspects were released.

Suspects arrested under terrorism laws can be held for up to 14 days before they must be charged or released.

Jackson said police had traced Abedi’s movements in the weeks before the attack in detail, and “understand how the chemicals and equipment were obtained and where the bomb was assembled.”

He said the vast police investigation will continue “as we work to understand the full extent of the involvement of anyone else.”

A man hailed as a homeless hero following the Manchester bombing has been charged with stealing a bank card from the arena on the night of the terror attack.

Greater Manchester Police said Chris Parker, 33, of no fixed abode, had been charged with two counts of theft relating to a bank card being stolen from the arena on the evening of May 22.

The Telegraph article is so vague, he might have picked the card off the ground in the melee.
He stole it from an injured woman.

Chris Parker, 33, was arrested and charged with stealing the card from Pauline Healey as she lay injured following the attack at the Ariana Grande concert.

A Greater Manchester police statement said Parker, of no fixed abode, had been charged with two counts of theft and remanded to appear at Manchester and Salford magistrates court on Wednesday.

Healey’s 14-year-old granddaughter Sorrell Leczkowski was killed in the suicide attack by Salman Abedi on 22 May. Her daughter, Samantha, Sorrell’s mother, was also seriously injured. Healey was left in a coma for several days and had to have surgery to remove shrapnel from the bomb.

He's a troubled man who did a wonderful thing, and a crime at the same time. So human!

Firefighters felt "ashamed" they could not help victims of the Manchester Arena attack more quickly, the Fire Brigades Union has said.

Crews were "out of the loop" and took two hours to attend the scene of the blast, which killed 22 people last May.

Mark Rowe, north-west secretary, said "the order never came down from the top", leaving firefighters "angry".

The fire service's chief has apologised for the failures, highlighted in a report by Lord Kerslake.

The report, commissioned by mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, found poor communication between the police and the area's fire service meant the "valuable" assistance of its crews was delayed by two hours and six minutes after the bombing, which also left hundreds injured.

Brother of Ariana Grande concert bomber convicted of 22 counts of murder
The brother of the suicide bomber who killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert was found guilty Tuesday of murder for each of those who died.

Hashem Abedi, 22, was convicted of helping brother Salman Abedi plot and prepare his slaughter at the UK’s Manchester Arena, where seven of the dead were children as young as eight.

Another 237 concertgoers were injured and 670 survivors reported suffering from psychological trauma. Pop superstar Grande has also said she suffers PTSD.

“Hashem Abedi encouraged and helped his brother knowing that Salman Abedi planned to commit an atrocity,” said Max Hill, Britain’s Director of Public Prosecutions.

“He has blood on his hands even if he didn’t detonate the bomb.”
