Manchester bomber visited extremist hotbed Dusseldorf days before attack - as it's revealed his Libyan rebel father is al-Qaeda supporter and his brother 'was plotting his own ISIS atrocity'

Salman Abedi had returned from Libya just days before launching suicide bomb attack at Manchester Arena

Mancunian of Libyan descent 'made regular visits' to North African country and 'had secret terror training'

Abedi killed 22 after detonating a suicide bomb at Manchester Arena on Monday after Ariana Grande concert

Emerged last night he travelled to Islamic extremist hotbed Dusseldorf four days before he blew himself up

Younger brother Hashem accused of having known about Salman's murderous plans for more than a month

His father had been a revolutionary fighter who publicly voiced support for an Al Qaeda-linked group in Syria

Greater Manchester police have said it is 'very clear' they are investigating 'a network' linked to the bomber

Nine people arrested as part of the inquiry into the atrocity - including Salman's two brothers and father

The family of the Manchester suicide bomber have links to terror networks around the world as it emerged the killer was in a German hotbed of Islamic extremists four days before the attack, it was revealed last night.

Salman Abedi, who killed 22 people and injured at least 119 Monday night, visited Dusseldorf days before he blew himself up at Manchester Arena - an atrocity possibly connected to the Paris and Brussels terror attacks, detectives have said.

One theory is Abedi may have been part of a larger cell that included Mohamed Abrini, the 'Man in the Hat', with connections to the mass murders in France and Belgium. Abrini is known to have visited Manchester in 2015.

German security sources said efforts have been stepped up as they scramble to find out if Abedi had accomplices in the country, received any explosives training or had been radicalised by local preachers.

Inspector Clouseau is leading the charge in keeping the citizens of the UK safe. There needs to be hell to be paid for all the dropped balls in this case.

So, if I were Sherlock, I would deduce that the bomb was procured in Dusseldorf. Merkel is exporting terrorist weapons

If “refugees” keep returning to the country they left, they are not refugees.

They are invaders.

We have to remember that England is a visa waiver country and this guy was an English citizen. He could have come to the USA without a visa.

He may have gotten parts of it elsewhere and smuggled them back into England, where they were assembled by some jihadist on the ground in Manchester. It was supposedly more high-tech than the usual jihadi bomb.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Recent U.S. mass murders were perpetrated by children of refugees and immigrants. If someone had enough brains, they could make explosives with chemicals fromy a hardware/home improvement store, they could also plan within the United states as well.

“he travelled to Islamic extremist hotbed Dusseldorf”

Dusseldorf. Hummm. See what’s happened to Germany, thanks to Miz Merkel.

LOTS of information and pictures when you read the full article.

He appears to have been swanning all over the planet while the authorities in GB were caught napping as usual. (Not that we are any better.)

Sad. I visited Germany before the muzzie invasion and Dusseldorf was one of my favorite places.

I have friends there who report it is no longer safe at night

His mother is a “ nuclear scientist” in Tripoli
Someone in the family has technical skill and connections
There is a cam shot of him buying his bomber backpack 3 days before his attack
His father - an al Qaeda supporter- was an “ airport security worker” in Manchester while the mini tribe was living in a free $200,000 house for iver 20 years
And probably using cash benefits to travel all over the middle east
How many brits can afford to fly to libya multiple times a year??
