MANCHESTER, England — Greater Manchester Police say they have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with the apparent suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in the city.

Police say the man was arrested in south Manchester Tuesday, a day after the explosion killed 22 people and injured 59, many of them teenagers.

They did not provide details.

Unfortunately, you’re correct.

I scoured social media & Youtube last night for comments about the attack. Although, I already knew what they would be.

Predictably, most British were crying “”but, the IRA!” “Remember how many bombs they set off & they were Catholic!!!”

They implied that the “Catholic “ IRA were much worse than the “stray” Muslim terrorist. BTW, they didn’t include the term “Muslim”.

All they were worried about was “islamaphobia” & “racism”. They are beyond hope.

There are a few who get it. Most notably, Nigel Farage & Tommy Robinson Sadly, Robinson is a virtual pariah in the UK for having the courage to speak out. In fact, he was just released from jail on false charges.
Shameful.

Interesting details here, especially the bit about the family members bugging out...

'He was chanting Islamic prayers loudly in the street': Neighbours of British-born suicide bomber - a keen Manchester United fan and son of airport security worker - tell of his 'strange behaviour' in the weeks before deadly attack

Wondering if anyone dropped a dime on the perp and, if so, did authorities act on any info.

If he’s a suicide bomber, how come he’s not dead.

ISIS claimed responsibility, according to a you tube audio I heard on one of several high-tech thingies making noises all around the house, maybe a smart phone. Didn’t locate the source.

Seems like it would be hard to eat.
Somebody would have to feed him some falafel smoothies or something.

Ever notice that certain details are always missing in stories involving Muslim Terrorists and Democrats?

At the very least, some details identifying the subject of the story might be mentioned in the last Paragraph.

In stories involving Christians and / or Republicans, those same details are shared in the first Paragraph if not the Headline and usually include a bad picture of the individual.

Hmm ... Maybe a "lone pack of wolves"? Definitely not a terrorist cell, though. Nope, never that.

White American men are not in a position to call anyone else pussies.
