LONDON (Reuters) - British police have arrested a "large part of the network" behind this week's Manchester suicide bombing but more arrests are likely, the country's top counter-terrorism officer said on Friday.
Mark Rowley said "immense" progress had been made in the investigation into Salman Abedi, who killed 22 people, seven of them children, at a pop concert in Manchester on Monday.
"They're very significant, these arrests. We're very happy we've got our hands around some of the key players that we are concerned about. But as I say, there is still a little bit more to do," Rowley told broadcasters.
Since the attack, armed police backed up by the army have been patrolling cities and trains. Interior minister Amber Rudd said the official threat risk remained at its highest level, "critical", meaning another attack is expected imminently.

Big question, did they arrest the right people.
Or did they arrest uninvolved parties because “islamophobia”?
Mad Mo’ is in the clink?
RamaLamaDingDong party poopers...
Never happen. So-called ‘Great’ Britain will be an Islamic, terrorist supporting country within 15 years.
They’ll fight when it gets too late, and we’ll have to rescue them once again.
They know where to go because they’d already been notified that the suicide bomber posed a threat (notified by those who personally knew him).
They failed to take preventative action.
Now they are trying to prevent the PR risk of a followup attack by those in this cell.
I’m talking about the Brit police warning people not to say “islamaphobic statements or else”.
They were thinking of claiming the explosion wasn’t terrorists.
I wouldn’t put it past them to arrest a bunch of uninvolved non-issue.
Hence what I said.
Non-issue??
Stupid phone doesn’t know “non-muslim”?
I have to retype it repeatedly before it leaves it?
Great..
They had their collective knuckles wrapped over the "IRA Playing Cards" incident.
If they have arrested anyone I would put money on it that MI# and other Secret agencies have been involved.
This is all happening just too fast for PC Plod to be operating unassisted. :)
Here is a good start get rid of them all and stop the flood coming in and you wont need the military walking the streets protecting you
Well, they were aware of him beforehand and didn’t act because of “islamaphobia”.
So, their hands have blood on them.
Be careful.
Very true.
“islamaphobia” is exactly what it is. They are scared of them just because they make a lot of noise.
This morning’s arrests involved a “Controlled explosion”...
Lol.
Now there’s a euphemism.
How controlled was it, I wonder?
I wonder how many, like the killer, had been on their RADAR and been allowed to roam free.....
All it takes is a generation once you let breeding invaders into a nation of low-T non-breeders.
Politicians can not act, they can only react
In the UK, the reaction must be as broad as is politically possible
