Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

The Daily Beast had already named him earlier. The source was a US counter terrorism official.

The US leaked it earlier but claimed he was the arrested suspect so not only couldn't they keep their gobs shut, they also got it wrong.
 
Bomber was just 22 years old and Manchester born. I seriously can't get my head round how someone born here can be convinced to blow themselves up and take innocent kids with them. What a messed up world we live in.

I get it. This isn't about where people live, or who they are. This is about a dangerous fascistic ideology that sucks them in and gives them easy answers to difficult questions. They believe the world is going to end and they will all go to paradise and every bombing brings it that much closer. They think that we'll start targeting Muslims in our communities and create a global "Islam vs the rest" war where everybody will be wiped out. This is why you see so many people desperately trying to make people understand that there's a difference between this and Islam. The terrorists WANT you to hate Islam, it's literally their stated goal and their motivation for these attacks. They aren't bothered about killing 20 or 30 people, they're bothered about effecting 20 or 30 million with the one attack.

Every hate crime, every headline, every "well Muslims have to do something", every bit of that is just moving the notch on the belt closer to where they want to be. We stand together in spite of their desire for disunity, that's how you fight against them. Our intelligence services will do the rest.
