Suspicions raised about Manchester Arena bomber before blast
Manchester Arena suicide bomber Salman Abedi was identified as acting suspiciously by a member of the public before he detonated his device, it has emerged.
A member of the public had “expressed” suspicions about Abedi, who was carrying a large rucksack on his back and spent an hour hanging around the City Room, the foyer of the Arena venue, before detonating his device as crowds began leaving an Ariana Grande concert.
