Isil claims responsibility for Manchester attack
The Telegraph ^ | 23 May 2017 | Josie Ensor

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a bombing at a pop concert in Manchester which left 22 people dead.

In a statement released by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's official Amaq news agency, they said it was revenge for attacks on "Muslim lands".

"One of the soldiers of the Caliphate was able to place an explosive device within a gathering of the Crusaders in the city of Manchester," it said, appearing to challenge the Manchester police theory it had been a suicide attack.

From my understanding they are the same group. Their name depends on who’s saying it and/or who the audience is.

Ive seen reports it was a very powerful ied in a backpack designed fior wide area damage - not an amateur assembly - detonated by a male who died

Also that a woman was reported acting very suspiciously but the report was waved off by security as implied “ “ racism” - so possibly a second bomber who escaped

Watch the news today fior sweeps - chances are these perps are part of a known cell

Reports are that security was sketchy
Given the probable ethnic makeup and training of the security company, looking the other way when certain people bring backpacks in would be part of avoiding “ racist” assumptions, particularly if they were young and perhaps part of a team

Everybody was focused on an attack happening in London , not Manchester
Which it still could

Teen age girls are 'Crusaders'??? Sick. Moslems are sick, and so are their enablers. Deport them ALL, America.

Intellectuals like Obama and John Kerry use the term ISIL out of respect to the terrorists since that is what THEY want to be called to show their territorial claims extend beyond Iraq and Syriac

The people who have disdain or worse for them call them daesh, which is an insult

Every once in a while a brave govt calls them daesh, but not often enough

Reply to that with photos of these alleged Crusaders...mostly girls, young women and parents waiting to pick them up after a concert.
