Bomb Explodes at Concert
A bombing struck an Ariana
Grande concert in Manchester,
England on Monday night kill-
ing 22 people, including children
at a venue packed with young
fans of the American musician.
Parents separated from their
children during the mayhem
were told to go to nearby hotels,
where many concertgoers had
taken refuge. Grande was not
injured.
The Islamic State has claimed
responsibility for the bombing,
the deadliest terrorist attack in
Britain since 2005.
Salmon Abadi, 22, a man
born and raised in Britain was
identified as the suicide bomber.
The device exploded outside a
crowded exit as the concert end-
ed.
Prime Minister Theresa May
on Tuesday said Britain’s threat
level from terrorism has been
raised to critical - meaning an-
other attack may be imminent.
The level previously stood at the
second-highest rung of “severe”
for several years.
May said critical status means
armed soldiers may be deployed
