Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

They got another one arrested.

Few incidents in Wigan today - nursery got blocked off. Man got wrestled to the ground in the town centre by Police. They seem to have got whoever they were after and raided his house.

Holy crap, I think he was in the block of flats I used to live in. Right near Wigan hospital, just at the back of the Tesco.

Superb post mate.

Thanks but should have said that a majority of Salafis AREN'T violent extremists.

so it was a network that was clearly well established and have been planning stuff like this for a while.

Intelligence services have let us down, people haven't done their jobs properly.

What's also sad is there are kids now who have been through that ordeal, only to find they have no parents because they were standing in the wrong place waiting to pick them up. It's just horrible.

Not necessarily. They're trying to establish whether it was a network or not which is why they're raiding a bunch of people.

They've picked up both of the brothers - one in Chorlton but they've also liaised with our allies overseas and his brother in Libya has been nicked and is in custody.

To me this doesn't seem like an organised snare but instead seems like they're kicking down doors of anybody who seems even semi-related and trying to find some answers.

I am sorry but that's just an idiotic comment. I don't think that any of us would have wanted this horrific thing to happen, and especially the intelligence service people.

We all are angry and upset, but to say such thing about the people who keep the uk safe 24/7 is just wrong.

Now that more victims names are coming out, so are the scammer parasites launching fake fundraiser sites to try and con people out of money via tragedy. Just found one that was clearly false if you knew anything about the specific victims, but had already raised £600+ despite only being up for an hour or so.

The bombers father And younger brother have both been arrested in Libya. The son was planning a terrorist attack in tripoli apparently

The father of the suicide bomber is claiming his son ( the one with the bomb strapped to him) is innocent

This still hasn't hit home. Think when the funerals happen and we see the size of the pink coffins, that's when it will hit home

Just saw the leaked pictures of the crime scene in the NYT. Horrific stuff.

How are the Americans getting this info though?

Hit home for me when the pictures of the beautiful innocents began being released.

Sat in silent tears for a couple of hours last night.
