The pitcures appear to the remnants of the bombers rucksack, the metalfragments used in the attack, and a possible detonator. British officials tonight expressed astonishment and disbelief that the pictures had been leaked. Tonight, manchester is a city that knows there may be people in its midst who planned mass murder and may strike again. Gavin hewitt, bbc news, manchester. As wejust heard, some pictures from the scene of mondays attack have emerged in the American Media. In response, the National Police Chiefs Council has issued a Statement Saying and the transatlantic row escalated further when Greater Manchester mayor andy burnham also expressed his firm disapproval of the lea ks. It worries me greatly and in fact i made no move my concerns about it to the Us Ambassador made known. Its not acceptable to me. Here theres a live investigation taking place and we cannot have information being put in the Public Domain thats not in the direct control of the British Police and security services. Key to the investigation is building up as clear a picture as possible of the bomber, salman abedi. He was born in britain to libyan parents whod fled their country. We know he went to school in manchester but dropped out of university in salford. We also know abedi had travelled to libya, returning just days before the attack. Our special correspondent ed thomas reports now on the bomber, his background and what may have motivated him. Suicide bomber salman abedi, an extremist who attacked the city of his birth. Now investigators surround his home. Like everyone here, they want answers. This man knew abedi. He had watched him come and go from manchester to libya. Now he cant believe what his neighbour did. Unbelievably disgusting, to be honest. Especially for a muslim. And a libyan as well. To us, obeying the law of the country is the most priority number one. Thats what the prophet teaches us. Some talk of erratic behaviour, of Abedi Chanting in the street. He was shouting out the koran in arabic. I dont know their language. The bbc has been told a black flag with islamic writing hung outside his home. Many had no idea what it meant. I saw some sort of flag outside. With islamic writing on it . I didnt really look at it. Was it english writing . No. A Community Worker who didnt want to go on camera has told us that two people who knew Salman Abedi At College went to police several years ago. They said he was supporting terrorism and had expressed a view that being a Suicide Bomber was ok. Greater Manchester Police will not comment on those claims. And what about the manchester bombers family . This is his brother hashem, now under arrest in libya for supporting so called islamic state. This is abedis father ramadan, affiliated to extremists, the Libyan Islamic fighting group. On his facebook page, he praises alqaeda fighters in syria. Today he gave an interview in libya minutes before he was detained, defending himself and his son. Translation salman does not belong to any organisation. I know this about him. He does not hide it from me. I always discuss things with me. I am sure and i believe that salman would not do such a thing, but there are hidden hands behind us, security organisations, in order to harm the libyan community, especially the youth. He did not travel to syria, i have seen his two passports and he never hides anything from me. There was no apology. Before he left south manchester, were told he would sometimes lead in prayers in this mosque. Hes there all the time when the prayers are happening. Hes a guy who announces. Police now want to know if anyone else knew What Salman Abedi and his father believed. Salman abedis father was well known in the moss . He was well known in the mosque . Oh, yeah. A good man . Hes a good man. This man is close to the trustees at Didsbury Mosque. He had no idea of the familys extremist links. We know he is connected to extremist fighters in libya, groups close to alqaeda. Right. They did not show it to us. Is that a problem, though . People like yourself, good people, dont know who they are with . We go back again, the Mosque Trustees have to do more about that. Leaders of communities have to sit together. A lot of thought needs to be done in the mosque. Tonight, Didsbury Mosque said salman abedi was a coward whose crime had no place in their religion, a man willing to kill and hurt in the city that was once his home. Ed thomas, bbc news, south manchester. Now we can go live to manchester and my colleague wyre davis is outside Greater Manchester Police Headquarters, where there are lots of strands to this investigation. Bring us up to date where we are . The police here are trying to focus on the investigation which is trying to find the bombers associates. We now know he more than likely didnt act alone. He had help in amassing the bomb and putting it together and certainly the Technology Behind the bomb probably came from elsewhere. So theyre trying to find the bomb factory, find the bomb maker and they are arresting and speaking to they are arresting and speaking to the associates of abedi. They have arrested seven people in total, two more arrests in the last hour or two, both in manchester and further afield towards the uk midlands, towards a town called nuneaton. There are arrests being made but theres also a great deal of frustration that the police here are Playing Catch Up because of all the lea ks, Playing Catch Up because of all the leaks, especially from american intelligence, in some ways they arent in complete control of the investigation. We are seeing those images from the bomb itself in American Media, those leaks are coming somewhere. What reaction so far to that . Incredible amounts of angen far to that . Incredible amounts of anger, notjust far to that . Incredible amounts of anger, not just from the far to that . Incredible amounts of anger, notjust from the police but uk politicians. The first big league for example was the naming of the bomber himself. The police behind me at Greater Manchester Police Headquarters wanted to keep that name out of the press and Public Domain because they felt to have revealed that name would have alerted his associates but the name was leaked from american intelligence sources via American Media and the police here had no choice to reveal the name before they wanted to. Now these crucial images of the bombers apparent equipment, the detonators and modus operandi, they appear to have been lea ked operandi, they appear to have been leaked from intelligence that was shared by the uk and americans and its made its way into the American Media. British politicians and British Police are incredibly angry about that. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Wyre davis outside the Greater Manchester Police Headquarters.

It has no mercy. In muslim neighbourhoods and they are asking the same questions as the rest of britain. How could terrorists deliberately target children . Why . Manchester is the latest victim of this pitiless brutality. Here are a few of the attacks on children. 186 children killed in 200a. To lose, 2012, a Petty Criminal killed a rabbi and three children, among them and eight year old girl, he held her hairat he eight year old girl, he held her hair at he killed her. 132 children.

It forces all europeans, notjust germans to question their cultural underpinnings and i think that the same process is going to have to happen if isis is to be defeated. Here, they are really fighting their battle. This man lost three members of his family in a bombing in pakistan. The principle the school where two children were killed from the blast in manchester. It is the power of the collective which is much bigger than the power of the single person. It is hard to see now. But actually you draw strength from the community and the people surrounding them. They are waging peace here. The father and brother of the manchester bomb has been detained in libya. Since duffys death libya has been engaged in civil war. Muammar gaddafi.

Wednesday was a dry, settled date for most of us and we add weather watching pictures and all pillars straight that point. Also in the london area. These two places at the hotspots through the day. Worth pointing out that we had some cloud in the far north west and by the end of the day we also add some sea fog through the irish sea and that will be a bit of a nuisance over the next few days and linger during the early morning. It is going to be a pretty muddy start to the day with temperatures in the high teens. The fog will take its time to clear but it will do so and as we go for the morning, it will be as we go for the morning, it will be a beautiful picture. A little bit of Fairweather Cloud developing which may be welcome news is temperatures keep climbing. It is going to be a hot day in the south east. Maybe as high as 28 degrees. Towards the south west and into south wales, a slight breeze. Again temperatures in the high temperatures not out of the question. Northern ireland and west of scotla nd question. Northern ireland and West Of Scotland are better day compared to yesterday and more sunshine and warmth. 25 for glasgow. We do it all again on friday, the south easterly breeze driving the heat further north. So is gathering into the Western Pa Rt of north. So is gathering into the western part of Northern Ireland but it looks as though in sheltered areas in scotland, we could see temperatures into the high 20s. Inverness could see 29, maybe 30 degrees. Widely variable across england and wales as well. Worth bearing in mind as well if you have any time outside, the uv level pretty high across the country and very high in the south east and certainly worth bearing in mind. 0n the saturday, we keep the heat by potential for showers into Northern Ireland becoming fairly widespread into the north west. Some heavy and thundery as well. We still keep the heat. 30 degrees are not out off the question in the south east corner. It is Bank Holiday Weekend so it will be a hot and humid start at the Thundery Breakdown will arrive and are behind it somewhat fresher conditions likely to follow on. Take care. Rico and i will be back in half an hour but now on bbc news, it is time for hardtalk. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur. There is a grim familiarity to the fallout from the manchester suicide bombing. Mourning for the innocent lives lost and an intense focus on the identity and motivation of the alleged jihadist mass murderer. In this case salman abedi, 22 years old, born in manchester to parents from libya. The list of europes so called Home Grownjihadists is now depressingly long.
