MANCHESTER: The suicide bomber who killed at least 22 people and wounded 59 at a packed concert hall in the English city of Manchester has been identified by US officials as Salman Abedi, The Telegraph reported.
According to the British newspaper, Abedi was born in Manchester in 1994, the second youngest of four children. His parents were Libyan refugees who fled the Qaddafi regime and came to the UK.
His mother and father, a security officer, reportedly emigrated to London before shifting to the south Manchester where they have lived for at least ten years.
Earlier, British Prime Minister Theresa May had said police believed they knew the identity of the bomber and police then said a 23-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the attack carried out late on Monday evening as people began leaving a concert given by Ariana Grande, a US singer who attracts a large number of young and teenage fans.
