MotiveTerrorism

On 22 May 2017, a bombing occurred at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom, at the end of a concert by the American singer Ariana Grande, killing 22 people and injuring 59. A lone male was reported to have carried out the attack, thought to have been a suicide bombing using an improvised explosive device, with the perpetrator "deliberately choosing the time and place to cause maximum carnage and to kill and injure indiscriminately". There was a large number of children and teenagers in attendance, some with their parents, adding to the chaos after the attack, in which many parents were separated from their children in the frantic rush to exit the venue. Police were called to the scene of the bombing at 22:33 local time, along with medical personnel to give aid to the many injured in the attack.[2] The Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack, and investigators are trying to determine if this was a lone wolf terror attack or if it was coordinated.[3]

Attack

On 22 May 2017 at approximately 22:30 BST (UTC+01:00)[4], an explosion occurred in the foyer area of the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The bombing happened after an Ariana Grande concert that was part of her Dangerous Woman Tour.[5][6] Up to 18,000 people could have attended the concert.[7] Many of the attendees were exiting through the foyer at the time of the explosion.[8]

Greater Manchester Police declared it a terrorist attack,claiming it to have been a suicide bombing.[9] This makes it the second terrorist attack in Britain in 2017 after the 22 March Westminster attack, and the deadliest terrorist attack in Britain since the July 7, 2005 London bombings.

Casualties

Police stated that 22 people, excluding the suicide bomber, were killed in the blast and 59 others injured, including children.[10][11] North West Ambulance Service reported that 60 of its ambulances attended the scene, escorting 59 people to local hospitals and treating a number of walking wounded on site.[12] Grande was not hurt during the incident.[13]

Two female victims were identified as Georgina Callander, age 18, and Saffie Roussos, age 8.[14][15]

Attacker

According to police, the attack was carried out using a self-detonated improvised explosive device by a lone male, who was 23 years old and known to police.[9] The man was identified by CBS News as Salman Abedi.[16]

Aftermath

At approximately 01:32 BST, a subsequent controlled explosion was conducted by police on a suspicious item in Cathedral Gardens.[9] The item was later found to be clothing that had been left behind.

Residents and taxi companies in Manchester offered free transport or accommodation via Twitter to those left stranded at the concert.[8] Parents of children attending the concert were separated in the aftermath of the explosion. A nearby hotel served as a shelter for children displaced by the bombing, with separated parents being directed there by officials.[17]

Manchester Victoria railway station, which is partly underneath the arena, was evacuated and closed, and services were cancelled. Victoria remained closed into the following day.[5][13]

The day after the attack, a 23-year-old male,[18] was arrested in South Manchester, in connection with the attack.[19] CBS News reported that Abedi was "the attacker" and that he was known to British authorities.[20] Later, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.[21][22] The man arrested was said to have been an accomplice of Abedi.[23]

Reactions

Domestic

The Prime Minister, Theresa May, called the incident an "appalling terrorist attack" and chaired a meeting of COBRA the next morning.[24]

The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, reacted to the incident, calling it "an evil act". Burnham paid tribute to locals and businesses who had supported the victims.[25] He later announced a vigil to be held in Manchester's Albert Square the following evening.[7]

Campaigning for the 2017 United Kingdom general election by all parties was suspended following the incident.[26][27]

Queen Elizabeth II expressed her "deepest sympathy" to those affected by this "dreadful event".[28]

London's mayor Sadiq Khan stated that his city "stands united with the great city of Manchester today," and later stated that "Londoners will see more police on our streets today."[29]

Political columnist Katie Hopkins was accused of calling for ethnic cleansing of the UK's Muslim population in a tweet after the explosion, asking for a "final solution".[30][31][32]

International

Condolences were expressed by the leaders and governments of: Armenia,[33] Australia,[34] Azerbaijan,[35] Belgium,[36] Canada,[37] China,[38] Finland,[39] France,[40] Germany,[41] Greece,[42] Hungary,[43] India,[44] Iran,[45] Israel,[46] Japan,[47] Kenya,[48] Malaysia,[49] The Netherlands,[50] Norway,[51] Pakistan,[52] Palestine,[53] Philippines,[54] Romania,[55] Russia,[56] Saudi Arabia,[57] Singapore,[58] Spain,[59] Sri Lanka,[60] Turkey,[61] and the United States.[62]

Grande posted on her official Twitter account that she was "broken".[63]
