The man suspected of carrying out Britain's worst terror attack since more than a decade has been named as 22-year-old Salman Ramadan Abedi. The bomb, detonated at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Monday night, left 22 people dead and 64 people injured. It was Britain's worst terror attack since four suicide bombers targeted London subway and bus commuters in 2005, killing 52.
The Islamic State were quick to claim responsibility for the attack early Tuesday, but it is not yet known whether Abedi was working with anyone else. Three men have been arrested in south Manchester in connection with the bombing, including a 23-year-old man believed to be Ismail Abedi—the brother of Salman Abedi—is being questioned.

They are: Georgina Callander, 18; Saffie Rose Roussos, 8; Olivia Campbell, 15; Alison Howe, 45; Nell Jones, 14; Kelly Brewster, 32; John Atkinson, 26; Lisa Lees, 47; Martin Hett, 29; Marcin Klis, 42, and Angelika Klis, 40. Many of those being treated in hospital are said to face life-changing injuries.
