Manchester Arena attack: Salman Abedi named as lone suicide bomber, US officials say

The man who blew himself up during an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena has been named as 23-year-old Salman Abedi, US officials have said.
Greater Manchester Police did not immediately confirm the suspect’s identity.
Theresa May previously said the bomber had been identified by security agencies, but that they were unable to name them at such an early stage of the investigation.
At least 22 people were killed, including children, and 59 more wounded shortly after Grande finished her performance last night.
An explosion ripped through a foyer linking Manchester Arena with Victoria station, sparking mass panic it echoed through the venue and fans rushed to escape.
Isis claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement that did not name the perpetrator, but suggested he survived the blast. The reason for the discrepancy was unclear.
