At least 20 killed after possible explosions at Manchester concert featuring Ariana Grande
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/22/serious-incident-at-uks-manchester-stadium-during-concert-where-loud-bang-heard.html

Quote
At least 20 people were killed and possibly "hundreds" of others were injured after one or more loud bangs were heard Monday night at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in England, multiple law enforcement told NBC News.

Law enforcement sources in both Britain and the United States told NBC News there were possibly two explosions. There was no immediate information on what kind of explosions occurred, and the sources stressed that the information was preliminary and subject to change.

Greater Manchester Police said only that there were "a number of confirmed fatalities and injuries" as hundreds of fans fled the arena. Emergency crews rushed to the scene after the possible blasts, which were first reported about 10:40 p.m. (5:40 p.m. ET).

This could get worse. Probably terrorism, but too early to tell.

Woolsey was talking with Shep Smith and said Trump wants to fight these guys and the last president did not. Shep quickly jumped on Woolsey saying it's no time for politics and Woolsey said it's just fact.  :lmao:

Shep really needs to quit and sign on with NBC or MSNBC. He would be better suited for those jobs.

Manchester Arena terror attack: 19 killed at Ariana Grande concert; US intel suspects lone man
http://www.firstpost.com/world/manchester-arena-terror-attack-19-killed-at-ariana-grande-concert-us-intel-suspects-lone-man-3470298.html

Quote
Nineteen people have been killed in a suspected terrorist attack during a pop concert by Ariana Grande in Manchester, England on Monday night. There were scenes of panic as Grande's audience fled the 21,000-capacity venue after what eyewitnesses described as a "huge bomb-like bang" in the foyer area at the end of the concert.

A fleet of ambulances was seen rushing to the venue and bomb disposal teams were dispatched soon after, as city residents opened up their doors to stranded concert-goers after train services were shut down. "So far 19 people have been confirmed dead, with around 50 others injured. This is currently being treated as a terrorist incident until police know otherwise," the police said in a statement.

British Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the "appalling terrorist attack". "All our thoughts are with the victims and the families of those who have been affected," she said in a statement.

Looks like ISIS is behind this.

Was it the London mayor who said that terrorism is something that will become part of everyday life and to get use to it?

The London mayor, a Muslim, approves of terror.

Ariana Grande Says "I Hate Americans. I Hate America." After Appearing to Lick On-Display Doughnuts
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ariana-grande-says-i-hate-807275

Quote
Ariana Grande likes the taste of doughnuts, but she "hates" America and Americans.

In security footage obtained by TMZ, the pop singer was in a doughnut shop and appeared to lick unpurchased doughnuts on a display rack twice while the shop's employee wasn't looking.

She also hates America and is pro-Islam.

Father and brother of Manchester bomber arrested in Libya
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/24/father-brother-manchester-bomber-arrested-libya/

Quote
The father and younger brother of the Manchester Arena bomber have been arrested in Libya.

The Telegraph understands Hashem Abedi, 20, the brother of suspected attacker Salman Abedi, was arrested last night in the capital Tripoli by counterterrorism forces on suspicion of links to the Islamic State group.

Three armed vehicles arrived to take away their father, Ramadan Abedi, an administrative manager of the Central Security Force in Tripoli, late Wednesday afternoon.

Sounds like they knew what was going on.

Manchester Arena bomb maker at large and could strike again
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-arena-bomb-maker-search-13086027

Quote
The person who made the bomb that blew up Manchester Arena is still at large and could strike again at any time.

Intelligence services now believe that Salman Abedi who detonated the nail bomb in the foyer of the venue was a ‘mule’ using a device made by someone else.

The bomb was a major step up from the crude but lethal attacks using vehicles at Westminster this year and in atrocities in Nice and Berlin in 2016.

They better catch the bomb maker soon.

Brother of Manchester bombing suspect knew an attack was coming, Libyan official says
http://abcnews.go.com/International/uk-police-arrest-connection-manchester-arena-attack/story?id=47602499

Quote
The brother of Salman Abedi, the suspect accused of carrying out a bombing in Manchester, England, that killed 22 people, allegedly said he knew his brother was going to carry out an attack, but did not know where or when, according to a spokesman for Libya's counterterror forces.

Abedi, 22, the suspected suicide bomber, died at the scene of Monday night's attack at an Ariana Grande concert.

Authorities found what was described to ABC News as a bomb-making workshop in Abedi's home in Manchester, with enough chemicals to build several additional bombs.

The brother knew all along.

Libyan officials, who have the brother in custody now, say that he was planning his own suicide bomb attack . . . :fuelfire:
