All three things require no real planning or communication with other parties and thus it makes them difficult to prevent.

Atleast seven people were involved in this.Probably a terror cell.
The bomb making skills are straight out of the middle east.It's not easy to get the equipment,chemicals,mix them correctly and fit a push button detonator.It takes specialist skills.Chances are Abedi didn't make this and there's possibly more.
This was a sophisticated attack.
