The Manchester United football fan who worked in a local Ba Kery Football Fan who worked in a local bakery it has emerged that he recently travelled to libya. Last night the authorities raised the Terrorist Threat level to critical, the highest possible. It means armed police will now be backed up by trips across the country. There are fears That Salman Abedi was part of a network of extremists. This was a horrific violent event, it was more sophisticated than some of the horrific events that we have seen in the past or in other parts of europe, so people are reasonably wondering whether he did this on his own. And this morning there have been more arrests, three men detained in South Manchester in connection with the attack. Detained in South Manchester in connection with the attack. More information has been emerging about salman abedi, more information has been emerging about the victims of the attack and also about salman abedi. Use what we know so far. The 22 year old was born in manchester to libyan parents, who had fled the country after becoming opponents of Colonel Gaddafi. After going to school in the city he later studied at Salford University before dropping out, and worked in a bakery. His parents are believed to now be living back in libya, and it is understood abedi himself recently returned to from the country. This morning the Home Secretary amber rudd said he was known to Security Services up to a point. We can speak to the director of International Security studies at the Foreign Affairs think tank the royal united is. Thank you for joining us. Royal united is. What do you make of the comment from the Home Secretary That Salman Abedi was known to the Security Services up to a point . I think what that indicate isa a point . I think what that indicate is a reflection of the fact that he clearly knew who he was, he was not a completely unknown figure to them. The question i suppose that how absolutely was the degree to which he was someone who was the focus of attention. Was he a priority or had he featured in the background of other investigations as some unrelated or distantly connected to someone unrelated or distantly connected to someone who was unrelated or distantly connected to someone who was a unrelated or distantly connected to someone who was a priority . In many ways it is a difficult one because the one hand the fact that authorities were looking at him and knew he was could be interpreted as a loss, why didnt catch earlier . The other side to that coin is if they did not review was it would potentially be worse, the fact that they know who he was means they were looking at the right places. If they we re looking at the right places. If they were unable to identify that he specifically was someone they should have been focusing on. The Home Secretary also said it is likely he was not acting alone. What will be going on right now in terms of trying to find out what connections may have been . As we have seen in the arrests that have taken place this morning, clearly authorities in manchester and around the country are fanning out and try to figure out who this individual was and who he knew and they will be tracking his movements where he has been, and he has been connected to and are trying to make sure that those people are other potential terrorists who are part of a larger network. The key will be to try and identify the explosive device he made, well at an incredibly high tech device that was a sophisticated effort in the fact that it actually succeeded and it seems to have caused so much death. This demonstrate a certain level of Technical Capability which they will wa nt to Technical Capability which they will want to make sure they know when it came from, whether it was someone else who had given it to him were trained in how to do it or where he had specifically learned that skill. It is interesting that we have heard from france on information about where he had been travelling, the possibility that he had been in syria. What does that say about the connections there are in terms of monitoring what has been going on . European Security Agencies work very closely together and have for some time. If we look back to 2014 when the threat level in the uk was initially raised it was in part raised back then because of the growing threat picture that people saw it on the continent in europe. And the reality that the Networks Like that when youre looking at you libyan Terrorist Networks are really pan european. These are ones that dont necessarily stop at our borders, they have links across the board as the latin terms of places that people transit through but also in terms of people who know each other and are connected together and gathered together on the battlefield to ultimately fight alongside one of the groups there. If we think back to the paris attacks there was the story about the man in the hat who was linked to the brussels attack had visited the uk. The point to focus on is that European Networks really are one Large Community of people with different nodes of focus around the continent. This was a soft target, a concert attended primarily by or largely by mothers and young kids and they were hit as they were leaving the venue. There are security going into concert venues, it is not always necessarily the same level of security from one event to the next but it is an area of wea kness event to the next but it is an area of weakness when youre just outside the venue. What would you expect to happen now and would you expect that to change . It is clearly not possible to protect everywhere and everything. Clearly in the wake of an atrocity like this committed against people celebrating a happy event im sure you will see security other large Public Events be noticeably wrapped up as everyone starts to realise the reality of what could potentially happen but the difficulty about these protective barriers is that you are essentially trying to create a Security Cordon around an event or around bulky shin but you always have to have an end to that court and and whenever you create an end to that court and you create a place where people must congregate to get through the gordon and that becomes a target. What we see with terrorist groups is that they will seek out the softest target that they are able to strike so in some cases we can see some instances in Foreign Countries for example where groups or around countries for example where groups oraround a countries for example where groups or around a city in case to case out a series of targets and choose the softest, so look at a series of embassies and cpr to hard but then see them as an International Hotel that will have International People at it and that will be an easier target. That is the reality of the sort of terrorism. They are determined to strike that is an cause as much misery as possible. They will find a place to do that and it is always going to be very difficult to know when youre ultimately going to drop a line on that Security Cordon. Thank you very much. Lets go live to ben brown who is in manchester with the latest from there. Let mejust show from there. Let me just show you some of the floral tributes, the messages, the candles here that are being left for the dead and those who are injured as well. Here in Albert Square. People still coming of time to light candles, still numb with shock about what happened. And we know from the authorities the latest death toll still 22 but 64 people injured, 20 of those injured in a Critical Condition we are told. Some of those victims who are being treated now have lost limbs. 12 of them are children under the age of 16, 12 of those people still being treated. In various hostels in manchester, eight hospitals altogether are treating victims of the attack. The other news to bring you is that three people have been arrested by police in Greater Manchester, that is what theyre telling us this morning three more arrests have been made and that investigation by the Greater Manchester continuing and of course a lot of speculation now as to whether salman abedi, this libyan, this man who was born in manchester but was of Libyan Descent, whether he was part of a Wider Network and reports that he had Wider Network and reports that he ha d rece ntly Wider Network and reports that he had recently travelled to libya and according to the french authorities they think it travelled perhaps to syria as well and have connections with so called Islamic State who have claimed this possibility for the attack. Three more arrests in manchester, meanwhile in the hospitals around the Greater Manchester area 20 people still in a radical condition, 64 altogether injured in the attack and 22 killed. We welcome viewers from bbc world at this point and just to recap news coming into us from the government that the Terror Threat level has been raised to critical, meaning that another Terror Attack could be imminent, in the words of the Home Secretary, amber rudd. That Terrorist Threat level raised. And you around Albert Square in manchester you can see people over the iraq continuing to bring flowers. Trying to make sense of what happened, the fact that so many of the victims of this attack were so young and more than one of the fatalities being named but the youngest we now was just eight years old, Saffie Roussos, a Primary Schoolgirl and people just crouching, really, standing, Laying Flowers, thinking about the horror that has come to the city of manchester. Lets go to my colleague sophie who is at the manchester Royal Infirmary this morning where, sophie, some of those who were injured being treated but as i was saying, many hospitals around the Greater Manchester Police Looking the casualties. The Greater Manchester area. That is right, we know that 64 people are being treated for injuries at eight hospitals in the Greater Manchester police the, i am at manchester Royal Infirmary where nine victims of the attack are being treated here but just the right of me is the Royal Hospital and 12 children, those under 16, hospital and 12 children, those under16, are hospital and 12 children, those under 16, are being treated there. Much has been made of the mancunian spirit over the last 48 hours, manchester is getting on with its business but of course for the 22 people, the families of the 22 people, the families of the 22 people who died, this attack will never be over. Nor will it be for a very long time for some of the people who have been treated in hospitals around manchester. A little earlier we had from the Chief Officer of great amount to the health and social Care Partnership anti gay marriage to speak to journalists and said that the many people who are being treated in health and social Care Partnership came out to speak to journalists. They require a mixture of intensive ca re they require a mixture of Intensive Care and stabilisation and surgery in many cases as well, major traumatic injuries, so major wounds and damaged organs, embedded objects etc. This an indication the of the kind of injuries that many of the people who are being treated in hospitals around manchester are now dealing with. At the same time we are now beginning to get more information about those who died. We know the names of five of the people who died on monday evening. Saffie roussos, we have heard about, she was just roussos, we have heard about, she wasjust eight roussos, we have heard about, she was just eight years old. Simply a Beautiful Girl in every sense of the world headteacher has been saying. Loved by everyone and kindness will be remembered fondly. Olivia campbell was just 15 years old. You may be aware that her mum, her family spent all of yesterday desperately trying to find her, and they have now announced that she was killed on monday evening. A pressure is gorgeous girl her mother said. John atkinson was 28 years old, a true gent see his friends and One In A Million loved by so many. Kelly brewster was started two years old from sheffield, she died we are told shielding her 11 year old niece from the blast on monday night. We also know that a polish couple who be believed where killed collecting the daughter also died on monday evening so we are now beginning to get a picture of the lives that have been so brutally cut short by the bombing that took place at the pop Concert On Monday evening. Meanwhile manchester really comes together, there was a vigil last night and poems were red and also concertgoers have not been deterred by what happened here, simple minds were playing last night. Wendy came Onstagejim Care said that they couldnt not play, he felt it would be cowardly and they had to go on. Great tears when they began to play. Great cheers. Thank you. More and more of a picture is beginning to emerge Of Salman Abedi, the suspected Suicide Bomber who blew himself up at Manchester Arena killing more than 20 people, injuring more than 60 as well. A man of Libyan Descent who dropped out of university but who was born here in manchester, was said to be a manchester, was said to be a Manchester United football fan. So many questions about him, what motivated him, what radicalised him and whether he was part of a wider conspiracy or acting alone and the Fa Ct Conspiracy or acting alone and the fact that the Intelligence Agencies and the police believed he was not acting alone is why the Terror Threat level has been raised. Lets go to the middle east corresponded Quentin Somerville who is in libya. There are reports that this man may have travelled to libya before the attack. Thats right, Unconfirmed Reports, suspicions that not only did he travelled utility but he also travels to syria. What we do now is that many libyans have made that journey, something wakefield have thousands libya ns travelled journey, something wakefield have thousands libyans travelled to syria, they started doing that during the 2013, when the war was at its height. They were Battle Hardened fighters, many of them fought against Carol Qaddafi and took those skills were sent to the one in syria and in a short space of time libya became a southern Compass Point for the so called Islamic State. Not only were libyans travelling to syria, fighting battles there and helping establish the De Facto Capital of the Islamic State for the militant group, but they were also coming back and when they were also coming back and when the dead because even more trouble here. It is worth remembering that this is a country that is barely functioning, on the point of economic collapse but also on the point of conflict and there are still many battles being fought with different factions in this country. There has been the circulation of Radicalised Islamist fighters, moving between here and between iraq and syria. And of course so called Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the attack, although that does not necessarily mean the new anything about it in advance but on the other hand if those reports that he had travelled to libya and to syria are confirmed that would increase suspicion that Islamic State were in some way involved. Thats right, there are a lot of contradictions in the statement from Islamic State, it does not match up with some of the actual fact that we now of the attack. Also another thing worth considering here, when you speak to those who are fighting against the Islamic State whether in iraq or syria or even in the coalition, the primary focus is about degrading the ability to carry out attacks in Western Europe and elsewhere. And there has been thought that because the fighting in iraq where Islamic State have been pushed back very effectively handed deed also under a great deal of pressure in syria, the De Facto Capital, trips theyre becoming closer closer to the De Facto Capital and an attack on that, there was a belief that the ability to be able to mount these ambitious attacks overseas had been degraded. That may still be the case because we do not have confirmation that this was in fact Islamic State andy do have a habit of claiming credit for attacks that they were not involved in the planning of. There are involved in the planning of. There a re lots of involved in the planning of. There are lots of things that points to the fact that this may well be and is attack. The Nexus Of Radicalisation which has taken these fighters and allowed them to circulate not just fighters and allowed them to circulate notjust the Islamic State teletu bby, circulate notjust the Islamic State teletubby, not just circulate notjust the Islamic State teletubby, notjust to libya across the city here, they lost that last year, but also able to circulate through europe. But if you want to move from tripoli you can or via istanbul and get back to the uk. It is not impossible. People here say that pretty much anything is impossible for getting back to europe for a libyans. And one other thing, were hearing That Salman Abedi, his parents, they we re That Salman Abedi, his parents, they were exiles from libya and came to britain from libya because they were fleeing from qaddafi, from the gaddafi regime. There are quite religious people and they hated what he stood for. There was a large exodus if you like in the early to mid 90s, of people fleeing here, and then heading towards the uk. A lot of them settled in manchester and that was a very difficult time another brutal dictatorship. Some would say that they were radicalised, that they became increasingly islamic in the communities in the uk. In fact on social media there has been criticism from some libyans about that faction. The real difficulty here though is that this is a tribal, tribal society, there are lots of political divisions here and there are always lots of finger pointing when this kind of event happens, different factions planing each other. One of the things i will say is that speaking to people in libya is that they are horrified by this attack. Many of them have connections with the uk. Any of them have studied in the uk and many have become doctors and engineers. They are also familiar with the part that the uk played here in ousting Colonel Gaddafi. They will say that this is a tragedy for them, too, and also it is another reminder of libya S Instability and of those radical elements in libya. Those kind of connections are very confiscated and are only now becoming clear. Especially when it but when it comes to the movements Of Salman Abedi. Thank you very much indeed. That is middle east corresponded nvidia. Just standing and posing and flexing about the atrocity that this happened. Pausing and reflecting. This Investigation Continues with counter terrorism. Three men have been arrested in the South Manchester area. This is after police warrants we re area. This is after police warrants were issued in connection and we can confirm that the 23 year old man arrested yesterday is the 20 seasonal brother of the attacker salman abedi. There were a raid in South Manchester that he knew about as well. Yesterday 22 year old salman abedi was identified, today the Home Secretary amber rudd has said that Intelligence Services knew him toa said that Intelligence Services knew him to a point, a crucial question that needs to be answered about to what extent was he known to Intelligence Services. Of course we have just had and we understand that he has come back from libya in recent days. His british passport would have been checked as he came into the country and we understand that us Intelligence Services may also have some information. This is also have some information. This is a fast moving investigation with the Terror Threat now raised to its highest level of critical and the Home Secretary amber rudd explained what this meant to us earlier today. Critical is the new level of threat, it means that we think an attack is imminent, we have been in severe for the past few years which means an attack is highly likely. It is specifically with response to the event he had seen in manchester, we will stay at that level until the confident that the operation has been concluded and that the threat level can reasonably come down. One of the things the public will see potentially depending on where you live is that through Operation Tempura this allows access to support for the military. They may see a certain amount of Military Presence. Central to this investigation is was salman abedi acting alone or the others involved . Where was the bomb made . Police want to know if others were involved, or anywhere, did they help design and make the bomb . Was he encouraged before he carried out the horrific attack on monday . That is the main priority. This is alive investigation. The head of Counterterrorism Policing says it is moving fast and making good process and the police even Greater Manchester have thanked the public for their resilience and support and said this needs to continue over the next few days while this city tries to properly become known to be safe again. Thank you very much. More from the Greater Manchester Police Investigation throughout the day as more details emerge on those arrests that they have announced. Three more arrests in the south of the city. Lets pause and take a look at the weather. We have some sunshine across many parts of the uk at the moment, but i have to stress it is not for all of us. You can see here the scene in wembley, some fair weather clouds starting to develop ear. Across the north West Of Scotland it will stay quite cloudy this afternoon, some outbreaks of rain here. Misty and murky conditions around the coast of wales, south western one, perhaps in the English Channel as well. We have the English Channel as well. We have the sunshine, we keep it on and off for the rest of the afternoon. Average is getting up to around 19 or 25 or 26 degrees in the south east. We are going to see more missed and more fog around the irish sea, a sultry night with temperatures no doubt that around 1417d. Temperatures no doubt that around 14 17d. For first aid should be a dry day for all is that there will be more sunshine around competitively as well. Further weather clouds developing into the afternoon. Temperatures up to perhaps 25 degrees in western scotland, the 22nd 27 the south east. Brother of this is bbc newsroom live. The Home Secretary amber rudd says salman abedi was known to the Security Services and he was likely not to have acted alone in the Manchester Attack that killed 22 people. People are reasonably wondering whether his did this on his own and im making sure police and Emergency Services doing that investigation have the support they need to find out who might have been working him. Police say three more arrests were made this morning. The French Foreign minister says abedi travelled to syria and possibly libya. The official uk Terrorism Threat Level has been raised to critical and troops are ready to be deployed. More details have emerged about some of the victims. 15 year old Olivia Campbell from bury, 32 year old Kelly Brewster from sheffield and a polish couple who havent yet been were also killed. The, more details about the ballmer. Bomber. Salman abedi. The government has raised the Terror Threat level to critical following the bombing, meaning another attack is imminent. This Morning Police in manchester have arrested three more men in connection with the investigation. My colleague ben brown is in manchester the gardener has tweeted That Salman Abedi is thought to have been a Mule Carrying A Bomb Belt by someone else. There was a conspiracy and that ballmer seems to have been supplied by someone else. They believe that the bomb maker may be out there and other conspirators may be out there. Lets talk to colonel richard kent from the cobra intelligence script, a former chairman. Who was involved, what are your thoughts . The intelligence and security mechanism of this country will be in overdrive. I think it was relatively obvious from the beginning that a sophisticated device like this would be built by someone device like this would be built by someone who could make sure that terrorists would get to the target without being stopped. I think it is highly likely that they believe the network was involved and that is why they have raised the threat level at least as a precaution against that being the case. News is coming into this from Frank Salman Abedi was a mule. Somebody they gave the bomb to ina mule. Somebody they gave the bomb to in a suitcase perhaps and he carried into the arena. So he was just doing their bidding and a sense. Unless he was doing something which she did not know what it was doing what you think is very unlikely. He was clearly a radical terrorist. He has got to have been radicalised. Therefore he has to have been a willing member of the network and maybe the willing member of the network and maybe the there could be other willing members of the network willing members of the network willing to carry out attacks. There are reports that he was of Libyan Descent but also travelled to syria. With those people who have fought with the Islamic State in syria and iraq and elsewhere. Terrorism by terrorists who have seen carnage it makes it much more easy for them to do it here. These are the people we are most concerned about. It is difficult to know who they are, even if he was known to the authorities. That thousands of potential terrorist. If this man did come back from working with Islamic State one ways to stop them from returning. We have to be prepared to take strong measures and change the law of necessary. We simply cant have her children and other teenagers blown to pieces in the streets of our own country. Youre suggesting that anybody who has been to syria and fought with Islamic State should not come back . If they had not killed fighting with them we should prevent them coming on. I would rather risk of them not coming home and risking their human rights. Salman abedi was clearly radicalised. The government are talking about the anti radicalisation strategy being boosted. Is that a strategy that is working . No, it is one we need to develop and improve. We need to look at people who are bidding Guantanamo Bay and in prison and then released and people think they are no say. It is very difficult to convert somebody once they are radicalised artist radicalisation. We need to prevent them coming here to the country the first place. In the case of non british citizens who believe to bea of non british citizens who believe to be a Terrorist Threat we should be reporting so we dont have to spend police resources. What else can the authorities do . Were hearing about 8300 troops being made available to bolster the security forces. Is that the right thing to do . I used to be involved in these style of decisions. I believe that the government would not take this kind of step without having very serious reasons to do so. The train and military officers on the streets of the United Kingdom. It should not just reassure the public but also deter terrorist. In previous occasions was in the armed police and armed Military Presence doesnt ca re and armed Military Presence doesnt care terrorism. The most effective thing as intelligence and our Intelligence Services are phenomenally successful in stopping so phenomenally successful in stopping so many attacks with thousands of plots foiled and thousands of people put in prison. And firstly doesnt happen all the time. Do you think that increased Terror Leveljust be for few days for this Investigation Continues . I think it will only last two or three days. What the security authorities have to do with the police and Intelligence Services is establish if that meant workers out there and if it is planning for the attack and then take action to stop it. I dont think it is something that will necessarily go on indefinitely. I have experienced this kind of reaction and the police and Intelligence Services are very impressive. They will identify associates and searched the premises and check their computers and i think they will get about of this relatively quickly. We have seen more arrests. Is it your hunch that this could be a wide conspiracy . think the likelihood is that there will at least be three to five people directly involved and maybe others, their relations and friends, who know about it and by knowing about an attack like this are themselves committing an offence. It could be relatively wide with a small core here. In Foreign Countries as well. If this man came back from syria perhaps he came back being directed by Islamic State. If out being directed by Islamic State. If our Intelligence Services are able to identify a direct link with Islamic State terrorists in syria we could see the astros launched at those cells. We could see the air strikes launched. To louisa may was in manchester yesterday. She is back in london today with another Cobra Meeting. Norman smith is in westminster. The Cobra Meeting broke upjust over an hour ago and this afternoon we should get some information. We understand the point is not likely to be on the streets but key Energy Facilities and airports and transport terminals. Two other areas of controversy which seem to be developing. One, it centres on the decision by ukip to end the ceasefire over the general Election Campaign. They will say that they will munch their manifesto tomorrow. There is no sign of the main parties agreeing to resume the general Election Campaign. Indications are it could get pushed back to the weekend or even beyond that because It Isa Weekend or even beyond that because it is a few of whether it would be appropriate for politicians to get involved in the argy bargy of politics. The critical Terrorist Threat that is a very alive and serious Counterterrorism Operation under way which will absorb a lot of the government s time. But that is a Question Mark about how far focus could be diverted and about security for the general Election Campaign. You could see ukip are determined to have the manifesto launch tomorrow because they say you cannot allow democracy to be pigeonholed by terrorism. The other area of potential controversy is the Home Secretary s confirmation that the government will bolster and beef up the Deal Radicalisation Strategy targeting the muslim community. Jeremy corbyn is highly critical of it as many people. Amber rudd this morning expressed confidence in it. She says it has succeeded in the past year in stopping 150 people including 50 children from travelling to fight in syria. We are going to see some areas of political controversy in the aftermath of this atrocity. That is assistant Political Editor norman smith with the from westminster. Lets get the latest on the casualties. We know thatis latest on the casualties. We know that is one of the 22 People Killed 64 were ventured and 20 of those are ina 64 were ventured and 20 of those are in a Critical Condition. They are all being treated at a number of hospitals.

For the families of the 22 people who were killed on monday night their lives will change forever as for many of the 64 people who were treated in hospitals across Greater Manchester. We have earlier from their head of the Health Council here who said that of the 64 people 20 people were facing 20s major injuries. And there journey with the nhs were just beginning. Many of the people injured were very young. Many of those who attended the concert. How do the process this . At home in prestatyn and north wales and marie and her Daughter Lucy whos just 13.

Because it was children and teenagers who were targetedm because it was children and teenagers who were targeted. Itjust went bang. They were walking quietly up went bang. They were walking quietly up the stairs and then they started screaming and running down. People we re screaming and running down.

A good standard and ask is this mm wrong. From the explosion. A good standard and ask is this it . It is ha rd standard and ask is this it . It is hard enough for adults to try and understand the full horror of the attack. How do make sense of it at 13 . It shouldnt have happened and i dont understand why it happened. just dont understand what it could be so horrible to other people. There were 21,000 people there are mothers seems merely to pictures of the children of the tickets and some pa rents the children of the tickets and some parents walking away to without photo of a child. Ijust cant comprehend what they must be going through. Walking away with that the last photo of their child. She has two boys with learning difficulties.

Were very lucky to be alive in this situation we have to try to live alongside it and just be brave and vigilant along the way. And marie and her daughter will continue to talk about mondays atrocity to work it through together. We will be fine, wobbly . Want to be . We will be fine, wont we .

Im ben brown live in manchester, where more details are emerging about the attack which killed 22 people. The Home Secretary amber rudd says salman abedi was known to the Security Services and he was likely not to have acted alone. People are reasonably wondering whether his did this on his own and im making sure police and Emergency Services doing that investigation have the support they need to find out who might have been working him. Its now thought he was a so called mule using a device built by someone else. More arrests in manchester this morning the French Foreign minister says abedi travelled to syria, he might also have been in libya. The uk Terror Threat level has been raised to critical, meaning another attack could be imminent, and that troops could be deployed if necessary. The royal s details are beginning to emerge about the victims of the attack. Ten have now been named. Among them 15 year old Olivia Campbell from bury 32 year old Kelly Brewster from sheffield and 29 year old martyn hett from stockport. Hello and welcome from manchester city, still trying to come to terms with the attack that left 22 people dead. People still coming to the town hall in Albert Square, Laying Flowers all the time, lighting candles, leaving messages and leaving card saying i love manchester. A real sense of solidarity here as well as grief. And a determination, too, that life will go on as normal even as the people of manchester mourn the victims. 22 People Killed, more than 60 injured as well in that attack. More details emerging about salman abedi, the suspected Suicide Bomber and the bbc understands that he was and the bbc understands that he was a mule using a device, a bomb that had been built by someone else. The Home Secretary has warned it is likely the man suspected of being behind the Manchester Concert bombing was not acting alone. Four people have been arrested so far in connection with the attack, including Salman Abedis brother and the official Terrorism Threat Level in the United Kingdom has now been raised to critical and that means another attack could be imminent. That is what the government are saying after meeting with the corporate Government Emergency Committee meeting yesterday and today as well. Lets tell you what about the victims, more details have been emerging about the victims of the attack. Heres what we know. 15 year old Olivia Campbell was killed in the bombing. Olivias family had spent yesterday desperately searching for her, hoping she was one of the dozens of people injured and being treated in hospital. Martyn hett from stockport has been named as being among the dead. Kelly brewster from sheffield in South Yorkshire was also killed in the attack. And the latest victim to be named. Jane tweddle taylor, who was picking up friends children. Those are some of the names of the victims, there are many more, of course, and some 20 of the injured in various hospitals around manchester who are still critically ill. Richard galpin has this report. Still two days after the attack the search for loved ones continues, a dozen people remain unaccounted for but it is assumed they must be amongst the injured or dead in manchesters hospitals. Today, medical staff in the city announced they were still treating more than 60 people, 20 of them are in a Critical Condition and amongst them are some children. They are highly complex injuries and they require extra intensive ca re complex injuries and they require extra Intensive Care and stabilisation and surgery in many cases as well. Major traumatic injuries so major wounds, damage to organs, embedded objects etc. And this is the man who detonated the bomb packed with metal, nuts and bolts at the Manchester Arena. 22 year old salman abedi, born and brought up in manchester of libyan pa rents. Brought up in manchester of libyan parents. A Man United Football Fan who worked in the local bakery, it is now emerged that he recently travelled to libya. Last night the authorities raised the Terrorist Threat level to critical, the highest possible. It means armed police will now be backed up by thousands of troops across the country. There are fears That Salman Abedi was part of a network of extremists. This was a horrific violent event, it was more sophisticated than some of the horrific events that we have seen in the past or in other parts of europe so the past or in other parts of europe so people are reasonably wondering whether he did this on his own. And this morning there have been more arrests, three men detained in South Manchester in connection with the attack. Lets get a Closer Look At Salman Abedi and here what we know so salman abedi and here what we know so far. The 22 year old was born in manchester to libyan parents, who had fled the country after becoming opponents of Colonel Gaddafi. After going to school in the city he later studied at Salford University before dropping out, and worked in a bakery. His parents are believed to now be living back in libya and it is understood abedi himself recently returned to from the country. Lets talk your home affairs correspondent. What more do we know about his background and what does that tell us about what kind of man he was . Were looking very closely at his family, he was born as you said in the uk in 1995, we have seen the Birth Certificate and registry there. But his family are from libya originally, and his father according toa number of originally, and his father according to a number of sources, bbc sources, had some connections with something called the Libyan Islamic fighting group. That is a group that was founded in the afghan war that opposed Colonel Gaddafi and had some desires to establish an Islamic State in that part of the country. We understand his family left libya, left tripoli probably in the early 90s, around 1991, and therefore that would fit with Salman Abedi Being Born In The Uk in 1995. He had what appeared to be a normal bringing, he went to normal schools, we have spoken to friends of his just in the last hour or so who have told us a little bit about him at school. They said he was somebody who had a bit ofa said he was somebody who had a bit of a temper, somebody who was quite gullible, who believed things he was told, this is directly from someone who knew him at school, but that he was a sound guy. Having said that this friend said he lost contact with salman abedi after the left school so an interesting detail there. And of course he has family in the uk, we think two brothers and sister, understand that the brother was arrested yesterday. The police will be looking very closely at the Family Members and also at his other friends and associates in the manchester area. And of course there will be questions about how he was radicalised, thatjourney, how did he go from maybe an ill tempered schoolboy to a Suicide Bomber writer mark and a lot of questions about how he was radicalised, where he was radicalised. Absolutely, there is certainly some evidence and this is developing in terms of the facts that we know, that he went back to libya and potentially to syria as well. The french authorities, the french government and Interior Minister there has given us an interview suggesting that he went to libya and syria. They have been suggestions that he travelled back from that pa rt that he travelled back from that part of the world or possibly from libya fairly recently. We also have an interesting piece of information from an anti Radicalisation Task force working in the manchester area that has had some contact with the family and somebody from that task force has told us that he had a bad relationship with his family, that he had difficulties adjusting to european living. He has lived here for much of his life but is from a family which does not have a european background in the past. And that he is the sort of person that might have struggled with the potential for radicalisation. That also shows is that he might have had some contact with the governments prevent strategy which is aimed at stopping this kind of radicalisation and also as you said earlier to sum this up, there are some suggestions that he was not working alone. There are security correspondent Frank Gardner has said that he understands that he was operating as a mule for someone that he was operating as a mule for someone else so potentially carrying this device for somebody else to the Manchester Arena and triggering that bomb that cause so much devastating loss there. All sorts of information coming out and this will be a process as we go through the day. Thank you very much. Tom simon reporting. And just to they were hearing from Greater Manchester police who say they are confident they now know the identities of all of those who died in the attack, so 22 people lost their lives. The police know all of the identities. They have named a few but they say it will take four or five days before they are able, formally, to name of those victims, all those people who at the Manchester Arena wendy suspected Suicide Bomber salman abedi detonated the device. Lets talk more about what this attack means in terms of security for this country. We dont buy a professor of political economy at manchester metropolitan university. Taylors first of all, we have been hearing a lot about this Man Salman Abedi and the question of how he was radicalised. It is a question of the authorities. It is the Conservatory Authorities. It is the Conservatory Authorities in everybodys well. What we know about the recent waves of terrorism, most of these individuals are being radicalised through a Small Network of friends and maybe relatives as well. We have seen and maybe relatives as well. We have seen this happening in the french and belgian attacks beforehand and many other attacks as well. Really the social networking is providing a conduit to radicalisation, playing a major role in europe in radicalising those individuals not necessarily very much ideological and by the way, oriented, or perhaps politically and socially as well. The play a major role here in radicalising most of these very very young Second Generation maybe troubled individuals as well. Also we have had reports that he travelled to libya which is where his family were from and to syria as well. That is true but it also confirms the presence of such a network. He could have gone to syria without somebody helping him. And the question really is the empire of those travels on him and his capabilities to build explosives as well. We know from what you just said that he actually tried to go to university, he was not able to succeed. This suggests that he himself may not have the expertise and maybe the capacity to build Something Like this on his own, but travelling to syria probably provides a place for training, a place for Knowledge Building and how to build bombs and also to provide him with the network back here at home, the same network which facilitated his departure could also facilitate his attacks on sea is backin facilitate his attacks on sea is back in the uk. And if as we have heard he was a Mule Carrying A Device built by someone else and exporting that device, and if it was an Islamic State attack, then he is the sort of person that the terror group like that would want to use, a young man perhaps slightly lost in society and becoming radicalised. That is very true, we know from some information coming out out about this individual and sometimes occasionally he used canvas. I am not sure how accurate that information is. We know he has not managed to finish school, we know he is in trouble and lost in life. We know this guy might even have problems with his family, which most individuals like him actually do. We know his parents as you said, the move to libya. He is living here without his penance and maybe his older brother so there are indications that he was indeed lost in life. There are indications that he now has obviously he is part of a social network, it may have played a major role in radicalising and pushing him towards doing what he did two nights ago. Thank you for being with us once again. Very good to talk to you and get your thoughts. As huber are just thoughts. As Huber Arejust seeing comedy Greater Manchester police saying they do not the identities of all the 22 people who lost their lives. As we were just saying. Lets go to sophie along, my colleague, who is at one of the hospitals that is treating the wounded, the manchester Royal Infirmary, one of eight hospitals where wounded casualties of the attacker being treated. Thank you. Nine of the victims of monday nights Terror Attack are being treated here at the manchester Royal Infirmary behind me. 12 others all very young people under the age of 16 are being treated at the royal manchester Childrens Hospital which is just to my right. We manchester Childrens Hospital which isjust to my right. We now manchester Childrens Hospital which is just to my right. We now know that sex before people are currently undergoing Hospital Treatment across Greater Manchester, each different hospitals. We were hearing from the Chief Officer here at the Greater Manchester health and social Care Partnership, said that of those 6420 we re partnership, said that of those 6420 were dealing with what he called critical life changing injuries. This is what he said to journalists earlier. The highly complex injuries and they require a mixture of Intensive Care and stabilisation and surgery in many cases as well. Major traumatic injuries, so major wounds, damaged organs, embedded objects etc. That was john rouse speaking to us etc. That was john rouse speaking to us earlier today. Manchester is getting back to normal, people are undeterred by what happened here, showing great defiance. We have seen people coming here to the royal manchester infirmary this morning delivering food for people waiting to your news of victims inside. Lets go live to Katrina Brenton our corresponded to is outside Greater Manchester Police Headquarters. She can give us a latest from there. A number of development here at Greater Manchester Police Headquarters this morning, let me bring you the latest that we have learned which you have already reported, which is that Greater Manchester police are now confident that they know who all other people are who lost their lives, they have made contact they with all of the families specialist officers are supporting them and they say that the postmortems are due to take 4 5 days due to the number of victims and then with guidance from the coroner they will be able to formally named the victims. Another development here this morning, three men were arrested in South Manchester in relation to this investigation, police used warrants earlier this morning. The 20 zero banter was arrested yesterday in connection with this investigation, it has now been established that he is the brother Of Salman Abedi. The 23 year old man. He was identified yesterday as the bomber. The question is what his motivation was in the police are trying to get to the bottom of that. Greater Manchester Police in the Counterterrorism Network are working ha rd to Counterterrorism Network are working hard to establish what exactly lead up hard to establish what exactly lead up to this attack on monday night. The Home Secretary said today that up the Home Secretary said today that up to the Home Secretary said today that uptoa the Home Secretary said today that up to a Point Salman Abedi was known to Intelligence Services. The question is to what extent was he not . We know that he recently came back from libya, he would have had his british passport checked of course as he came back into the country and american Intelligence Services appear to possibly know something about ten, two. Central to this investigation is he acting alone . This is the polices main priority, that is why the Terrorist Threat has been raised to its highest level of critical. They want to know if others were working with him, who they were, whether bob was made, who was the person who designed the bomb . They need to find out who these people are and they need to be accounted for before that Terrorism Threat Level could of course be lifted again. The Police Investigation is fast moving, the counterterrorism, head of the counterterrorism, head of the Counterterrorism Network assets this is fast moving and Good Progress has been made but of course it is still a long way to go. Greater Manchester Police thanked public for the resilience and the strength over the last few days, they say they will be distributing the while they make sure that the city is properly safe once again. Thank you very much indeed. Katrina renton with the latest on the Police Investigation there. This is a City Thatis Investigation there. This is a city that is likely on edge, there were more buildings evacuated yesterday morning, a certain level of panic in the city centre. That was a false alarm. The threat level is being felt very acutely here, the threat level as catriona was seeing is the highest level, means a Terror Attack could be imminent. There have been a number of emergency Cobra Meetings taking place at Downing Street over the past 48 hours since this attack was carried out. Lets go live to Downing Street and speak to norman smith who the photos. The Home Secretary confirming around 1000 troops will be deployed today andi 1000 troops will be deployed today and i have to say that rather underlines how seriously the Security Services, officials and ministers view the current threat. The military are almost never used in mainland britain, we have the police force, and unarmed police force which polices by consent, it is extremely rare to use the military. Nevertheless it has been decided that up to around 4000 will be available to buttress the police. I think that a significant. You should not expect to see soldiers walking up and down the street or ta Nks Walking Up And Down The Street or tanks on the road, instead the military will replace those armed Police Officers guarding key facilities. Were talking about airports, Nuclear Power plants, keep transport terminals, that sort of thing, to release those Police Officers and take part in the security operation. The other thing that will cause some controversy todayis that will cause some controversy today is science that the political ceasefire is beginning to fray with ukip this morning saying they are going to restart the Election Campaign tomorrow with the launch of the manifesto. The reader poll not all saying that democracy cannot be cowed by terrorism and therefore it is right to restart the Election Campaign. I have to say i think they will be doing so on their own, all the other parties i have spoken to show an indication that they are going to do that, indeed the mood music emerging from government is that the former restart of the election may be several days away. Just to allow time for the shock and horror of the atrocity to recede and also to allow time for the Security Investigation to try and as where draw a line under this Terrorist Threat. Ukip going ahead with the ma nifesto. Threat. Ukip going ahead with the manifesto. I suggest that will prove highly controversial. Norman, thank you very much. Norman smith there in Downing Street. We stay in london because we can speak to Yvette Cooper the chair of the Home Affairs Select committee. Thank you for being with us. The threat level now risen to critical, people understand it is because the Terror Attack could be imminent. They are very worrying words for the government for the public. What would you say to them . Lovers want to support the police and Security Service and the port of the have to do. This was a truly vile attack thatis do. This was a truly vile attack that is just incompatible, the idea of attacking children in this way. They have a job to do and in the police force, they have a job we have to support them in doing and i think the Expert Advice on raising the threat level will be because they want to make sure that they have investigated every possibility about whether there is a network in place that this man was a part of. We need to support them in doing that. You talk about support for those services, for the investigation, is the more that the government could be doing to facilitate those kind of investigations . I am sure the government will be doing absolutely everything that it can and that priority now is to understand whether there is a Wider Network or any wider set will be the most important one. There will be further work in due course into how this could happen in the first place, into this mans background, into how we became medicalised and what more could be done there. I am sure there will be considerable investigations going on into for example the libya link that we have heard people talking about. I think, too, there needs to be a wider debate about issues around online radicalisation where we have that macro we know that social Media Companies must do much more. We dont know whether that was a factor or not in this individual case but we know that there are wider issues around extremism that needs to be addressed. Preventing radicalisation, preventing these kinds of attacks is of course key. Do you think worry sources should be pumped into that area . do you think worry sources should be pumped into that area . I think there is clearly much more that needs to be done, but i think everyone would agree andi be done, but i think everyone would agree and i think the garment and our Political Parties would all agree that this is what needs to happen. I personal view is i have said that social Media Companies for example need to do more because there are still at least speak Jihadi Propaganda videos online, available on youtube that people can access and so there does need to be much stronger action on things like that. That also needs to be support for communities, support for victims, for the families, and everyones heart will go out to those who have lost loved ones, have been caught up with this awful traumatic event as well and we have seen traumatic event as well and we have seen the amazing solidarity that was on show in Manchester Last Night and eve Ryo Ne On Show in Manchester Last Night and everyone from all over the country i know will want to support that. Yvette cooper, thank you. Solidarity, something that youre certainly seeing you in manchester. Lets go back to the city centre. Ben brown is there. Were here in Albert Square by the town hall, you can see people coming all the time to either lay flowers or light candles for the dead or to leave flowers a nd candles for the dead or to leave flowers and leave messages as well. 22 people lost their lives, 11 have been named with Greater Manchester police aintree now know the names of all those who died but they would be releasing them until four or five days, it may take to release all those names. Youre watching bbc news. We are going to pause and take a look at the latest weather forecasts. There has been quite a bit of sunshine across many parts of the uk, where the blue sky has been there will be cloud building, they see a lot of clouds and Western Areas now be some breaks and other things as we go through the afternoon.

In this is bbc newsroom live. The Home Secretary amber rudd says it is unlikely that the Suicide Bomber behind the Manchester Arena attack was acting alone. A people are reasonably wondering whether his did this on his own and im making sure police and Intelligence Services doing that investigation have the support they need to find out who might have been working him ,police say three more arrests were made this morning one of those arrested yesterday was the attackers brother. The official uk Terrorism Threat Level has been raised to critical and troops are ready to be deployed. 11 of the victims have now been named among them 15 year old Olivia Campbell from bury old martyn hett from stockport. 32 year old Kelly Brewster from sheffield and 29 year old martyn hett from stockport. The Home Secretary has warned it is likely the man suspected of being behind the Manchester Concert bombing was not acting alone. Amber rudd said salman abedi was known to Security Services up to a point and confirmed the 22 year old had recently returned to the uk from libya. Lets take a look at some of the latest developments the bbc understands the device used by the attacker is thought to have been built by someone else. Four people have been arrested so far in connection with the attack including abedis brother. The official Terrorism Threat Level in the uk has been raised to critical which means an attack is expected imminently. Manchester. Ben byrne. Ben brown. Were learning more about Salman Abedi A Dropout from universities who supported bernstein noted. Manchester united. Universities who supported bernstein noted. Manchester united. The father was taken to the car first. There were young once. Very young. Talking about 12 or 13. He was a quiet neighbourhood didnt get involved with problems with anybody. And he was fairly nice and smiley this is as much as i know about him. You see them go to the mosque and the rest of the business of his life i dont know much about. We know that the parents Of Salman Abedi ad come to libya s that the parents Of Salman Abedi ad come to libya 5 leading from the resume of Colonel Gaddafi. We know That Salman Abedi although he was born and raised in manchester went back to libya quite recently. I correspondent is in libya and has been tracing some of the connections. There are Unconfirmed Reports that he travelled not just there are Unconfirmed Reports that he travelled notjust here there are Unconfirmed Reports that he travelled not just here to there are Unconfirmed Reports that he travelled notjust here to libya but also to syria. Many have made that call the have made that journey. Many of them fought against Colonel Gaddafi and they took those skills with them to the war in syria and ina skills with them to the war in syria and in a short space of time libya became a southern Compass Point for the so called Islamic State. Not only were libyans travelling to syria but about helping establish the De Facto Capital of the Islamic State. When they came back because they were more trouble here. This is a country that is barely functioning from the point of economic collapse and conflict. All the time there has beena and conflict. All the time there has been a circulation of Radicalised Islamist fighters moving between here and iraq and syria. Let me show you the scene here in Albert Square in the centre of manchester by the town hall. A sombre and sad scene as the flowers laid on cards and candles and messages of sympathy for the dead. The 22 who have lost their lives and the Greater Manchester police are saying that about half of the dead have been named now. They didnt know the identity of august 22 who died at the may not be in a position to release All The Names forfour position to release All The Names for four or five days. We position to release All The Names Forfour Orfive days. We know position to release All The Names for four or five days. We know the youngest victim was just eight years old. Today her head teacher, chris upton, from Tarleton Community Primary School in lancashire, has been paying tribute to her. Most of her death in this appalling attack is, is a tremendous shock to us attack is, is a tremendous shock to us all. News of her death. I would like to send condolences to her friends would like to send condolences to herfriends and would like to send condolences to her friends and family. She was simply beautiful little girl in every aspect of the world. She was loved by everyone and her kindness will be remembered fondly. She comes from a close and loving family and we can only imagine what theyre going through. It is hard for adults little children to bash the unfairness of this terrible deed. It is ourjob to deal with this dramatic experience. To grasp the unfairness. This morning we came together in our is a School Community and held a Minute S Silence in her memory. We sang dont stop believing. As you can imagine over two years from children and staff but we know together we have to hold onto love amongst us. We all that to saffie and her family. I would ask that members of the press give us the space required. That was the head teacher of the school where saffie was a pupil. Only eight years old, the youngest of the victims and a tragic loss. Here city centre you can see this shrine that has built up can see this shrine that has built up the last few days. A number of shrines and floral tributes and tributes and candles and teddy bears and childrens tributes and candles and teddy bears and child rens books tributes and candles and teddy bears and childrens books that had been left there all the time. People are coming to label flowers. To pay their respects to the dead. A city thatis their respects to the dead. A city that is so shocked and traumatised by what happened here, trying to come to terms with it and get on with life. We can speak now to kit nicholl a Security Analyst from ihs markit. He is in our Central London newsroom. All the indications seem to be That Salman Abedi was not working alone and perhaps the device he blew up was given to him and he was a mule carrying it. That is the most likely scenario now. The threat is twofold. In the short term we know there are other operatives who are collaborating in the attack at manchester so theres still a residual threat there. These individuals take to be apprehended. It also shows that this individual was not alone but was acting with others so he was clinical eating with them and managed to carry out a well planned, meticulously planned attack and evade the Security Services. What do you make of this point of the British Government to all of this, raising the terrorist level and deploying troops on the street . Is that a proportionate response . It does that compare with the response in france after the Terrorist Attacks there . The raising of the threat level to critical is probably predominantly for public consumption. It is a political move by the government to try to mitigate the damage in case there was another attack. Then with regards to deploying soldiers on the streets to help out the police and politically sensitive sites, that is a very similar reaction to the one we saw in paris after the November 2015 attacks. Here the bubbly 3800 troops deployed so it is similar reaction from the government. There are reports That Salman Abedi travelled to libya and maybe even sillier. How alarming is that . Security services have spoken about the threat emanating from attending foreign fighters. They are likely to receive training in the construction of improvised explosive devices su bsystems improvised explosive devices subsystems are to be the case it does just lend credence to what Security Services have been saying. We have had its many times that the Security Services have here filed to many plots over the years that clearly cant stop all of them. In a sense perhaps luck has run out. Absolutely. The attacks weve seen recently in the uk have been known attacks. Attacks by Lonely People carried out with vehicles knife attacks. Those attacks without communication between several parties are difficult to mitigate. But an attack with a wide amount of planning like the one in manchester, those should be easier for the Security Services to mitigate because they have those indications that they able to intercept so from a prevention Point Of View so far the Security Services have been doing extremely well in comparison to their continental european counterparts. Perhaps luck is just run out. The government are also talking about bolstering the prevent strategy of anti radicalisation. It is clear this young man was somehow radicalised. They did need to do more to make that prevent strategy what . The strategy has been much criticised and at the end of the day thatis criticised and at the end of the day that is where youre going to mitigate predominantly the Terrorist Threat. If that is a large risk Terrorist Attack this is a much the Security Services can do and some individuals will slip through the net. To nip it in the budget have to halt the radicalisation of those young individuals. To nip it in the bud. Many young muslims will say it has been counter productive and it has been counter productive and it has been counter productive and it has angered and irritated them sometimes. That is absolutely right in the same goes for other various european countries. I dont think that as yet an effective model for Counter Radicalisation as it were. The solution is yet to be found. There has been a lot of criticism of the prevent strategy and the government will have to come up with a new fully formed and more cohesive plan to mitigate the threat. Thank you very much indeed. Graham satchell has been to one family who are dealing with the aftermath of that brutal attack. At home in prestatyn in north wales, anne marie and her Daughter Lucy, who isjust13. The tickets to see Ariana Grande were a Surprise Gift and a dream come true. You can see the pure joy on lucys face. Shes really, really pretty and shes a really good role model and shes just perfect. Lucy, being my daughter, she sang to every single song, as did the majority of the audience and such a happy, joyous occasion, to end in such tragedy is just horrific. What happened at the Manchester Arena was more shocking because it was children, teenagers who were targeted. I was very terrified and scared. Itjust went bang and everyone was just. They were all walking quietly upstairs and then theyjust started screaming and running down, people were climbing over each other, pushing them down the stairs. I had a very good idea that it was a bomb. Straightaway . Yeah, yeah, from the explosion. I did stand there and think, is this it . Its hard enough for adults to try and understand the full horror of monday nights attack. How dyou make sense of it at 13 . It shouldnt have happened and i dont know, i dont understand why it did happen. I just dont understand why they would be so horrible to other people. There was 21,000 people in there and some parents would have done exactly the same as me took pictures with their children with their tickets and some of those parents are walking away today and that is the last photo of their child. And, you know, ijust cannot comprehend what they must be going through. But, no, i cannot relate in any way whatsoever to why somebody would do that to innocent people. As well as lucy, anne marie has two boys, both with learning difficulties. She is trying to be strong to make life as normal and positive as possible. We want to send out our Heartfelt Sympathies, dont we, to the people who have not been as lucky as us . Yeah. The things that i have reflected on with lucy this morning is that we are both very lucky to be alive in this situation and that, you know, us two, we are not able to stop this terrorism and atrocities that are going on, but we have to try and live alongside it and just be brave and vigilant along the way. Anne marie and her daughter will continue to talk about mondays atrocity and to work through it together. We will be fine, wont we, love . Yeah. Graham satchell, bbc news, prestatyn.
