Well this is a troubling development.
As we previously reported, 22 people were killed after a suicide bomber detonated a device inside the Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert on Monday. Although the attacker’s death has already been confirmed by the police, it’s now being said that the culprit did not act alone.

In fact, the cops have apparently nabbed another suspect linked to the fatal bombing. According to the Greater Manchester Police, they booked a 23-year-old man on Tuesday for his involvement in the terrorist attack. While the cops have yet to specify the new suspect’s connection to the bomber, ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the violent incident.
So, perhaps there’s a connection through the violent organization?? Smh.
Reportedly, the Islamic State group says “a soldier of the caliphate planted bombs in the middle of Crusaders gatherings” then detonated the devices. Mind you, officials have only made reference to one “improvised explosive device.” Not to mention, the group also claims that “30 Crusaders were killed and 70 others were wounded” during the concert assault — these numbers are much higher than what the local authorities have reported.
Also, the Islamic State group has yet to offer up evidence proving that they’re actually responsible for the bombing in Manchester. Hmm.
Stay tuned for more details as this story is developing.
