On 22 May 2017, a suicide bombing was carried out at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, after a concert
by American singer Ariana Grande. It was the deadliest terror attack to hit the UK since the 7/7 London
bombings in July 2005. The attacker, identied by police as Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old British person of
Libyan descent, detonated an improvised explosive device as concertgoers were leaving the arena.
Twenty-two people were killed in the explosion, including an eight-year-old girl, and 64 were injured.
Many have life-threatening conditions. The attacker died at the scene.
