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

Posted on 05/23/2017 5:39:33 AM PDT by Lonely Bull

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.

Notice there are two things missing from all the MSM news coverage. No pictures of the dead girls or the word Muslim.

It may have been a suicide attack and a planted bomb. There were evidently two explosions, and I saw some reports about a pressure cooker found in the lobby where this occurred. Possibly the pressure cooker didn’t explode as it should have and the terrorist ran into the crowd to explode himself there and take out as many people as he could - or possibly he ran into the crowd first, blew himself up and then the pressure cooker went off as people ran for the exit.

And then again, perhaps it was all garbled reporting...

BTW, I still see the US press saying “an explosion occurred at a concert...” Why is it so hard for them to say that there was an Islamic terrorist attack, even though the British police came out and said so within only a couple of hours after the attack?

How do you get a bomb into a concert? Part of the crew?

Will we see background checks for roadies in the future?

I don’t think it’s a foreign terrorist. There are enough native-born Muslims in Britain that are willing to do this.

wether suicide or planted does not matter

I hope that the hounds from hell descend on caliphates minions, hunt them and eliminate where found, put an end to the scourge of islam on civilized society.

Either learn to live with civilized societies or burn in hell- I prefer these animals burn in hell.

It is their choice

Hmmm. So, is ariane grand latte still tolerant of the religion of pieces? Does she still hate America and Americans? And who sends their 6 year old to a concert anyway? Will Britain awaken or carry on as usual? I mentioned to Mrs rktman last night when the first reports stared coming in that sooner or later, somebody would try to tie Trump’s speach in Ryadh to this. Sure enough, jerry rivers was the first one I heard mention it on Sean’s show. Retaliation for what Trump said.

**How do you get a bomb into a concert? Part of the crew?***

After all the terrorist bombings in Europe where you expect large crowds for public events- one would anticipate high security with screening backpacks - similar to airports. What about the Cameras, were they working and being monitored before the event?

I don't think he got inside. I believe the bomb went off near the box office between the venue and Victoria Station as concert goers were leaving.

On a related note, here is Andy McCarthy’s fantastic column about the Saudis, Islam, terrorism and Trump:

“Will we see background checks for roadies in the future?”

If so there won’t be a single live performance anywhere on the planet.

It’s time for us to tell American Muslims that if are going to be silent on terror, that they need to leave. Here, a white killed his two roommates, because he was made fun of from them about being a convert to Islam. His fourth roommate was arrested for bomb making materials.

” . . . they said it was revenge for attacks on “Muslim lands.”

In other words, Terrorism. Will anybody convey this to Princess Shep over at Fox news, who seems to think it is NOT an act of terrorism?
