Page 6A NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Thursday, May 25, 2017 Investigators explore bomber’s links to larger network Associated Press LONDON — British investigators are hunting for potential conspirators linked to the bombing that killed 22 people in a search that is exploring the possibility that the same cell linked to the Paris and Brussels terror attacks was also to blame for the Manchester Arena attack, two officials familiar with the investigation said Wednesday. Investigators were also assessing whether Salman Abedi, the suspected bomber in the attack Monday on a pop concert in Manchester, may have been connected to known militants in the northern English city. Abedi, a 22-year-old British citizen born to Libyan parents, died in the attack. Abedi’s father, Ramadan Abedi, was allegedly a member of the al-Qa- ida-backed Libyan Islamic Fighting group in the 1990s, Victoria Jones/PA via AP Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, 2nd right, and Major General Ben Bathhurst, General Offi- cer Commanding London District, right, meet soldiers and police officers on deployment in the Palace of Westminster, London on Wednesday. according to a former Libyan security official, Abdel-Basit Haroun. The elder Abedi denied that he was part of the militant group and told The Associated Press that his son was not involved in the concert bombing and had no connection to militants. “We don’t believe in killing innocents. This is not us,” the 51-year-old Abedi said in a telephone interview from Tripoli. He said he spoke to his son five days ago and he was getting ready for a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. He said his son visited Libya a month and a half ago and was planning to return to Libya to spend the holy month of Ramadan with the family. He also denied his son had spent time in Syria or fought with the Islamic State group, which claimed responsibility for the concert bombing. “Last time I spoke to him, he sounded normal. There was nothing worrying at all until ... I heard the news that they are suspecting he was the bomber,” the elder Abedi said. He confirmed that another son, Ismail, 23, was arrested Tuesday in Manchester. A third son, 18-year-old Hashim, was arrested in Tripoli late last night, according to a Libyan government spokesman, Ahmed bin Salem. The elder Abedi was arrested shortly after speaking to the AP, Salem said. The anti-terror force that Thursday Morning PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX PM 12:30 Paid Pat.

Jacobs initially reported Gianforte body-slammed him as he was asking questions. Gianforte’s campaign says the reporter entered a private office without permission and shoved a recorder in the candidate’s face. Robert Saldin, a political science professor at the University of Montana, called Wednesday’s altercation with Jacobs “nuts” but notes that a lot of voters have already cast their ballots. The professor also suggests it might appeal to some Republican voters who became accustomed to strong rhetoric against journalists during President Donald Trump’s campaign.

(AP) — Fox News says a crew saw Montana’s House candi- date Greg Gianforte grab a Guardian reporter by the neck and slam him to the ground. In a first-person account posted on its website, a Fox reporter says the three-person crew went to the Republican’s campaign headquarters to interview him Wednesday, the day before the special election to fill the state’s lone House seat. Alicia Acuna writes that they watched Gianforte in disbelief as he punched Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs after slamming him to the ground. Jacobs had walked into the office and asked the candidate about the GOP’s health care bill and persisted when Gianforte referred him to his spokesman. 6:30 AFTERNOON NBC • Can treat muscle stiff- ness and spasms in multiple sclerosis as measured by what patients say, but less strong evidence if the changes are measured by doctors On the other hand, it also found that pot smoking may be linked to: • Risk of developing schizophrenia and other causes of psychosis, with the highest risk among the most frequent users • Risk of a traffic accident • More frequent chronic bronchitis episodes from long- term use • Lower birthweight in offspring of female users There’s some evidence that pot or cannabinoids may: • Improve short-term sleep in people with some medical conditions • Boost appetite and ease weight loss in people with HIV or AIDS • Ease symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and improve outcomes after traumatic brain injury Similarly, some evidence suggests pot use may be linked to: • Triggering a heart attack • An increased risk of developing a lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease • Pregnancy complications when used by the mother • Impaired school achieve- ment and outcomes • Increased suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, especially among heavier users • Risk of developing bipolar disorder, especially among regular users.

The research published Wednesday is the first rigorous test of a marijuana compound in treating a certain form of severe epilepsy. It found that an ingredient of marijuana — one that doesn’t give pot smokers a high — reduced the number of seizures in children. In the U.S., more than two dozen states allow medical use of marijuana. Federal drug regulators have not approved marijuana itself, but they have allowed man-made, chemically related medicines to treat loss of appetite in people with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting caused by cancer therapy. A marijuana extract is sold in Britain for nerve pain and other problems from multiple sclerosis. In January, a U.S. advisory committee concluded that the lack of scientific information about marijuana and its chem- ical cousins, called cannabi- noids, poses a risk to public health. The experts called for a national effort to learn more. In a report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, they also rounded up what is known. Here are some of its conclusions. There’s strong evidence that marijuana or cannabi- noids: • Can treat chronic pain in adults • Can ease nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy 6 May 25, 2017 Movies (11) KFFX PBS What’s known and not known about marijuana STATION and that the two women also lived together in the U.K. before they returned t Libya. British police said Wednesday they had not yet found the bomb maker in the Manchester Arena attack, indicating Salman Abedi was part of a larger cell. “It’s very clear this is a network we are investi- gating,” Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said. In Washington, the chairman of the U.S. House’s Homeland Security Committee said the bomb used in the attack suggested a “level of sophistication” that might indicate its maker had foreign training. Rep. Mike McCaul told The Associated Press that the bomb used the explosive TATP, the same one used in the deadly November 2015 attacks in Paris and the March 2016 attack in Brus- sels carried out by Islamic State extremists. took Hashim Abedi into custody said that the teenager had confessed that both he and his brother were members of the Islamic State group and that he “knew all the details” of the Manchester attack plot. Ramadan Abedi fled Tripoli in 1993 after Moammar Gadhafi’s security authorities issued an arrest warrant. He spent 25 years in Britain before returning to Libya in 2011 after Gadhafi was ousted and killed in the country’s civil war. He is now a manager of the Central Security force in Tripoli. The Abedi family has close ties to the family of al-Qaida veteran Abu Anas al-Libi, who was snatched by U.S. special forces off a Tripoli street in 2013 for alleged involvement in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, and died in U.S. custody in 2015. Al-Libi’s wife told the AP that she went to college in Tripoli with the elder Abedi’s wife 11 KPTV 3 (19) KEPR 2 KOIN 19 (25) KNDU 6 KGW 8 (42) KVEW 4 KATU 5 (11) KFFX 12 AM 12:30 :05 Friends :35 Hot In 1 AM 1:30 2 AM 2:30 3 AM 3:30 :05 CR TV 2 Broke G.
