Suspect in Manchester attack had Libyan heritage: reports
The man responsible for bombing a packed pop concert in Manchester, killing 22 people, is believed to be a British-born man of Libyan descent. Media reports said he was born in the north-west English city of Manchester to Libyan parents, who fled their home country to escape the regime of former dictator Moamer Kadhafi. Police say they are now urgently seeking to confirm whether Abedi worked alone, or acted as part of a wider network.
