LA Times- Three more men arrested as Manchester police describe attack as likely the work of a terror network.
Given the nature of the attack and the bomb used — filled with nails and bolts designed to cause maximum carnage — Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Wednesday that it was “likely” the 22-year-old had not acted alone.
“It was more sophisticated than some of the attacks we’ve seen before,” she said.
Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins also confirmed during an afternoon news conference that it was “very clear that this is a network that we are investigating.”
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.
A third brother, Ismail, has also been arrested after police raids in the UK. The family are believed to live between Manchester, where the children were born and grew up, and Libya.
Earlier today the Abedi brothers’ father spoke from Libya, where he said his son was innocent. “We don’t believe in killing innocents. This is not us,” Abedia senior said.
“My son was as religious as any child who opens his eyes in a religious family,” Mr Abedi, who arrived in the UK from his native Libya in the 1990s told Bloomberg news.

You just acknowledged the elephant in the room, pal.
Your sons were religious. And the more devout you are in Islam, the more violent you are.
THAT IS THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH.
A network, yes! I see the MBC broadcast tower in the picture!
Bombing likely the result of a network. Did they figure that out themselves or did Scotland Yard have to break it to them?
“We don’t believe in killing innocents.”
What does “innocent” mean to a Mohammedan?
“They’re kuffar [infidels, kafirs]. They’re not people who are innocent. The people who are innocent are the people who are with us or those who are living under the Islamic state.” – quoted in http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2005/08/can-infidels-be-innocents
This will be forgotten in a matter of hours, just like the bridge massacre. If only we’d known pink balloons, flowers and candles prevent violence, WWII could’ve been prevented. What FOOLS!
Could have been SPECTER or CHAOS.
Mr Abedi is right. According to the Quran, “Never strike anyone so old, small, or weak that verbal abuse would have sufficed.” – (66:6)
What? Next they will be trying to tell us the sex-slave traffic ring that operated FOR DECADES not too far from Manchester was part of an Islamic group too! We are talking about the Religion Of Peace! How can this be?
Most of the brain-dead commentators are claiming that most Muslims are peaceful! Yea, for now!
Moshe Dayan: Let us not be afraid to see the hatred that consumes the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs who sit around us and wait for the moment when their hands will be able to reach our blood.
Time for another useless candlelight vigil. Then go about your business until the next candlelight vigil.
Trump was right again months ago when he said what all sane people know: that the whole disgusting, savage animal muslim family is in on it.
“Drive them out of the Earth!”

When will the radical killing of muzzies start there? You gotta
know there are a lot of pissed off hooligans on the sidelines, or
is that being hidden by the press?
