Manchester attack: British Prime Minister raises threat level to ‘critical’ across the UK




British Prime Minister Theresa May has raised the terror threat level to ‘critical’ across the entire UK, on foot of last night’s barbaric act inside Manchester Arena.

22 people, many of them children, were killed when a lone bomber detonated an explosive device near the ticket booths. Scores more were injured.

A ‘critical’ alert status indicates that another attack may be imminent.

The main suspect of last night’s bombing has been named as 22-year-old Salman Abedi. According to records, Abedi was born in the UK to Lybian parents.

The Islamic State organization earlier claimed responsibility for the atrocity, stating that one of its members carried out the attack.
