The father and the younger brother of the suicide bomber who killed 22 people at a concert venue in Manchester have been arrested in Tripoli, a spokesman for a local counter-terrorism force said on Wednesday.
The counter-terrorism force detained the father, Ramadan Abedi, outside his home in the Tripoli suburb of Ayn Zara on Wednesday afternoon. A witness said he was handcuffed by armed men who drove him away in two unmarked vehicles.
The force, known as Rada, detained the brother Hashem Abedi, who was born in 1997, on Tuesday evening on suspicion of links to Islamic State, spokesman Ahmed Bin Salem said. He did not give any details on the reasons why the father was arrested.
But Hashem Abedi had been in touch with attacker Salman Abedi, Bin Salem said, and was suspected of planning to carry out an attack in the Libyan capital.
"We have evidence that he is involved in Daesh (Islamic State) with his brother. We have been following him for more than one month and a half," Bin Salem said. "He was in contact with his brother and he knew about the attack."
He said the younger brother had traveled from London to Tripoli on April 16.

let’s see....the ‘parents’ “fled” Libya to England, but the father lives in Libya with at least one son?
so they came to England for the benefits, and left the mother in England while the males relocated back to Libya to live high on the hog and fly back and forth off the benefits Mom was collecting?
quite the Ponzi scheme
how often does this happen?
does England care? does Germany care? does America care?
Curious how much they were getting. I’m sure since “refugees”, they were collecting every benefit available.
So, GB basically paid/financed their own slaughter. When will this madness end??
Hang em first.
Then ship em out.
No, we don’t want Libya to deport them. Let Libya deal with them there, preferably with extreme prejudice.
Why would a past member of Al-Qaida lie?
Clearly the lad was misunderstood.
He identifies as trans-robotic, and was cooking some nuts and bolts and nails to eat...
Ever notice how it seems none of these jihadis have jobs? Who pays for their frequent trips to their Muslim homelands? Is that financed by Saudi oil money? Or do the Brits give them welfare to cover travel, too?
I read that the parents came to England as refugee status, as the father was a member of a terrorist group the government there was cracking down on. So what I gather from this is, England takes in terrorists as refugees because their home country is. Racking down on them, then they are surprised when the terrorist turn on them?
Perhaps they were two stretch limos?
We are paying for our country to be invaded and colonized by illegal aliens.
When will that madness end?
IIRC, the father, when he was in the UK, had a job at an airport. If true, that’s frickin’ scary.
The sooner Americans realize that the UK and Europe are lost and America is hanging by its finger nails the better.
We will have to take a stand against the Progressive Deep State - or perish. It's as simple as that.
I thought Dad was a refugee from Libya. How come he has a house there?
The Koran teaches Muslims that lying to infidels to advance the Jihad against infidels is not a sin/crime but a religious duty.

I was at Logan Airport in Boston the day the USS Cole was attacked. I remarked to my wife about “security” being 100% Muslims at the time. On 9/11, four of the terrorists went through Logan. Since 9/11, the same Muslim rent-a-cops are now TSA. There’s not even a pretense at security—political correctness overrides all common sense. Americans can talk about Europe all they want, but we are no better.
What is the IQ of these people?
Somewhere between islam and stone age.
Yes.
Right after he was fitted to Procrutes bed..
But they are British citizens. So they need to have a formal deportation process from UK.
