Among the dead were seven children, the youngest aged just eight, while 237 people were injured.
Once again, devout Muslims “misunderstanding” Islam according to the Democrat media complex.
There were others involved. Hashem Abedi persuaded acquaintances to buy chemicals to make the explosives and had sourced metal drums used to build prototype devices. How many blew up children and are still at large?
Mark Rowley, Britain’s top counterterrorism police officer, said authorities have dismantled a “large part” of the network around bomber Salman Abedi. But he said there were still “gaps in our understanding” of the plot, as investigators probed Abedi’s potential links to jihadis in Britain, Europe, Libya and the Middle East.

Manchester Arena bomber’s brother Hashem Abedi given 55-year sentence
A man who helped his elder brother carry out a suicide bomb attack, which killed 22 people at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in the English city of Manchester three years ago, has been jailed for at least 55 years.
Key points:
22 people were killed and 237 were injured when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb at the Manchester Arena in 2017
His brother Hashem was convicted in March of helping plot and carry out the attack
The sentencing judge said the brothers were equally culpable
In March Hashem Abedi, 23, was found guilty of murder for encouraging and helping his brother Salman to blow himself up at the Manchester Arena as parents arrived to collect their children at the end of the May 2017 concert.
Among the dead were seven children, the youngest aged just eight, while 237 people were injured.
The attack was the deadliest in Britain since the 2005 London transport suicide bombings, which killed 52 people.

Judge Jeremy Baker said the men were equally culpable and had deliberately targeted a concert attended by young people, where almost half those killed were children or teenagers.
“The stark reality is that these were atrocious crimes: large in their scale, deadly in their intent and appalling in their consequences,” Judge Baker told London’s Old Bailey court.
He jailed Abedi for life for murder and conspiracy to cause an explosion, and said he would serve at least 55 years behind bars.
Abedi was not in court for the sentencing hearing, having refused to enter the courtroom where distraught families of victims had given harrowing accounts of the devastating impact the bombing had had on their lives.
The Abedi brothers, born to Libyan parents who emigrated to Britain during the rule of late leader Muammar Gaddafi, had plotted the attack at their home in south Manchester, experimenting with the construction of a homemade device.
They made the device at a separate address in the city and then bought a car to store the bomb-making equipment, shortly before they returned to Libya in mid-April 2017.
Hashem remained in Libya while his 22-year-old brother carried out the bombing, but police said he persuaded acquaintances to buy chemicals to make the explosives and had sourced metal drums used to build prototype devices.
Hashem denied involvement but offered no evidence in his trial and a jury agreed he was as guilty of murder as his brother.
