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.

Damn Amish!
The NY Times called the bombing suspects parents “immigrants”, but the UK Telegraph used the more precise descriptor of “Refugees”.
Refugees get full freight welfare support.
Thanks to multiculturalism 2nd or 3rd gen might as well be right off the boat.
Your post reminded me of the opening of Battlestar galactica.
The Cylons were created by Man. They rebelled. They evolved. They look and feel human. Some are programmed to think they are human. There are many copies. And they have a plan.
Save the evolution part we can safely save muslims are cylons
Really? That’s about the oddest thing I’ve read all day. I’ve been from Maine to Spain, and I’ve never lost my ID even once. Yet this guy just happens to lose his ID on that particular day.
Again, I find that very odd.
Or he was carrying it when he blew himself up. A few pounds of explosives won’t disintegrate or burn an entire body and everything he’s carrying. It may toss his head thirty feet in one direction and his leg in another, but his bits will be mostly there.
You never exploded yourself
In Islam, one will not find good sects..
Gee, where have I heard that before....
Sounds like tradecraft to me.
See my reply #31.
Especially with that female genital mutilation thing.
young muslim male + Koran + internet + indifferent authorities + ISIS = mass murder
It would be interesting to trace his online activity and find out who his ‘friends’ were.

It’s not odd at all.
Another murderous muslim scumbag retard!
Why do the Euros put up with this BS?
Our excuse is a closet muslim named `Obama’ and we’re correcting the mistake.
“Death to the infidel who took me in! Who fed me, housed me, put clothes on my back, and on my wives and huge brood of even more resentful of offspring and offered me a job I don’t want ... “
Send them back!
The man, Salman Abedi....

That male was not a man.
I’m more interested in the victims and their families not the perpetrator.
Islam needs to be destroyed
>Second and third gen muzzies are the worst. No way to vet for that...
Could just send them all home. As far as I’m concerned freedom of religion is only for Christian religions. 3ed world death cults go return to the hell holes they came from.
