Father Mr Abedi fled Tripoli in 1993 after Muammar Gaddafi's security forces issued an arrest warrant for him, eventually seeking asylum in Britain.

He has returned to his home country and is the administrative manager of the Central Security force in Tripoli.

But a former Libyan security official has claimed the elder Abedi was himself once a member of an armed group later revealed to have links to al-Qaeda.

Abdel-Basit Haroun said today that he personally knew the former refugee who he claims was a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in the 1990s.

CORONATION Street will pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester terror attack in tonight’s episode.

The soap – which is based in the city – will honour the 22 innocent people, including iconic Coronation Street superfan Martyn Hett, who lost their lives with a message at the end of the episode.

The fifth suspect is from Wigan, I saw the police vans and stuff at the end of my friends street. It's really really scary, he was carrying a 'suspicious package' too

A memorial tree is outside college now Georgina, and Saffie's mum and dad ran a chip shop in Leyland where my college is, me and my friend walked past it getting off the train today and it was so beautiful to see so many people laying flowers and paying their respects.

Honestly, still so much beautiful people in the world

Understany it's finally been announced that Ariana is cancelling some of her tour, including her preformances tonight and tomorrow in London
A little part of me was acctually expecting her to preform but it's totally understandable why she decided to take a bit of time off, both for her and the safety of her fans

[Denver]

Makes me sick that his father says he is innocent but what do you expect from Terrorists

[Denver]

2 more arrests 1 in Nuneaton and 1 in Warwickshire

[Denver]

Also Libya said they have been watching his younger brother for over a month and knew his plans

Ariana Grande has a big kid fanbase and I'm assuming that the terrorists knew this.

They really have crossed a line this time though.
