Manchester terror attack: ‘Trainee pilot’ arrested as police raid addresses in Sussex A “TRAINEE pilot” was arrested yesterday, as the race to dismantle suicide bomber Salman Abedi’s terror network spread to the South Coast.

The Express, May 29, 2017:

The 23-year-old man was detained in the early hours in the seaside town of Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex.

He was held on suspicion of terror offences after a raid on a flat above a parade of shops in the town centre.

Neighbours said the man was called “Aladine” and was training to be a pilot at Shoreham airfield – also known as Brighton City Airport.

Violet Mainda, who owns a hair salon beneath the flat, described him as a “nice jovial” man who had a girlfriend and had lived there for about a year.

“He was a client. I think he had finished, or was still training, to be a pilot. He told me but I can’t quite remember. He was from Libya.“I am really, really shocked by this. I can’t believe he had been arrested.”

Nobody from the airfield was available for comment.

A total of 14 people are being held in connection with the atrocity.

Bank Holiday raids in Chester, Bury and Whalley Range followed the arrest of a 25-year-old man in Old Trafford and a 19-year-old man in Gorton on Sunday.
