Manchester terror attack
Not a very nice time for the people of Machester who is currently suffering from a shock terrorist attack inside the Manchester arena during a concert organised by American rapper Ariana Grande.
The show which was met to be sold a sold out concert, housed over 23,000 people including teens who were the majority of participants, when suddenly the arena reverberated in what many saw as a quick massive explosion.
The explosion killed 22 persons, leaving over 59 casualties in a serious state.
According to the Manchester police, the attacker donated an improvised explosive device at about 10:33 pm on May 22nd inside the Grande concert.
More than 240 calls were made to the emergency services, with 60 ambulances flooding the area and more than 400 police officers deployed as part of the operation.
A large cordon remains in place around the arena and nearby Manchester Victoria Station, which was evacuated during the incident and remains closed, while forensic investigators gather evidence.
In a report from the BBC, attacker acted alone as he is believed to have died at the scene.
This is Britain worst ever since the London bombings of July 2005 in which four suicide bombers killed over 52 persons on the Tube and bus network. It is also coming after two decades where a truck bomb planted by the Irish Republican Army destroyed several buildings in central Manchester, claiming casualty of 200 persons.
