MANCHESTER, England — A 22-year-old British man whose parents had emigrated from Libya was identified by the police on Tuesday as the bomber who carried out Britain’s deadliest terrorist attack since 2005, an explosion that killed 22 people and injured 59 others at Manchester Arena.

The man, Salman Abedi, lived in a house just 3.5 miles from the arena, where he detonated a homemade bomb in a public concourse around 10:30 p.m. on Monday as a concert by the American pop star Ariana Grande was ending and as crowds of teenagers had begun to leave, many for an adjacent train station. He died in the attack.

At a late afternoon news conference, Chief Constable Ian Hopkins of the Greater Manchester Police identified the bomber as Mr. Abedi after several news publications reported his name, but declined to provide any further details, noting that a coroner had not yet officially identified him.

“The priority remains to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network,” Constable Hopkins said.

Mr. Abedi’s ID was found at the scene of the bombing, according to a law enforcement official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was still underway. Mr. Abedi was born in Britain in 1994, the son of immigrants from Libya, the official said.

According to neighbors, Mr. Abedi lived with his family in a house in Elsmore Road, in the Fallowfield district. The police raided the house on Tuesday afternoon, after setting off a controlled explosion to gain entry.

A neighbor, Lina Ahmed, said she knew little about the family. “They didn’t really speak to anyone,” she said. “They were nice people if you walked past.” She said the family occasionally displayed a Libyan flag outside the home.

Yes, you can.

You don’t allow Muzzies in.

We have Obama’s destruction of Libya to thank for what Abedi did. And this is just the beginning of the pay back for what NATO did in Libya.

It was British jets and bombs that destroyed the 8th wonder of the world, The Great Man MAde River, greening the Libyan desert.

Obama led the genocide in Libya as part of his “Arab Spring.” debacle.But no one is making that connection between Obama and Abedi. It needs to be said.

Abedi had returned from Libya just days before he set off his personal suicide vest in Manchester, a v est powered by a home made bomb made of ammonia nitrate ( fertilizer) mixed with diesel fuel, and hardware store shrapnel.

Europe needs to do what LaPen proposed. They rejected her as a Right-wing Fascist. In time, people like her will be elected, it's just a matter of how much innocent blood needs to be shed before people wake up and take control by defending their very lives.
