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,

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.

After Jacobs left, Gianforte
apologized to the Fox crew.
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.
We appreciate the cards,
food, fl owers, telephone
calls and donations
made in Wayne’s name.
Your kindness will
always be remembered.

Montana GOP candidate
allegedly bodyslams reporter
BOZEMAN, Mont. (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.

• 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

among regular users.

NEW YORK (AP) — A
new marijuana study joins
a limited record of scientific
knowledge about the harms
and benefits of pot.
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

and that the two women also

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
