The senior police officer in Manchester, Ian Hopkins, has named Salman Abedi, 22, as the suspect who exploded a bomb at a pop concert Monday night killing 22 people.


He is believed to have been born in Manchester, and his family is of Libyan origin.

During the day, another unnamed suspect aged 23 was arrested in south Manchester, and police say they carried out two other raids on properties - one in which they gained entry using a controlled explosive.
