Title: Manchester bomber identified: Latest in terror investigation

LONDON -- CBS News confirmed Tuesday that the man who blew himself up the previous night at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, was 23-year-old Salman Abedi, who was known to British authorities prior to the attack.

In a generic statement posted online, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for Abedi's suicide bomb attack, which left 22 people dead, including children, at one of the entrances to the Manchester Arena.

Officials said one man was arrested Tuesday in southern Manchester in connection with the attack, and urged people to avoid the center of the city as raids continued at addresses around the city.

Police and British Prime Minister Theresa May made it clear the focus of the investigation was to determine whether the bomber "was acting alone, or was part of a wider group."

ISIS issued its claim of responsibility in a brief, generic statement that did not identify the bomber and appeared to get some of the facts of the attack wrong. It claimed a "caliphate soldier managed to place a number of devices among a gathering of crusaders in Manchester, and detonated them."

Officials say there was only one explosion, and there have been no indications that other devices were discovered at or near the arena.

U.S. intelligence sources told CBS News they were exercising caution on the early claim of responsibility from ISIS. Authorities are still looking into whether it was a killer who acted alone or who might have had some level of support from the terror network. U.S. intelligence officials were offering assistance in the investigation, as is standard practice in any case involving a close ally.

Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, noted in Congress on Tuesday that ISIS frequently claims responsibility for terror attacks, and their claim has yet to be verified by U.S. officials.

Testifying in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Coats said the Manchester attack should serve as a reminder that the terrorist threat is "not going away and it needs significant attention."

ISIS has repeatedly called for its supporters in the West to attack "soft targets" like sports events and concerts in any way possible.

Previous attacks in Europe and the U.S. have been claimed by individuals who support ISIS and have made contact with its members, but who were not directly supported or guided by the terror network.

Manchester police confirmed the arrest of a 23-year-old man in the southern Chorlton neighborhood of the city on Tuesday morning. The suspect taken into custody was not identified, but police said the arrest was linked to the bombing. Witnesses said the man was smiling as he was apprehended.

Police also confirmed that officers had conducted a controlled explosion at the scene of a separate raid connected to the arena attack in the Fallowfield neighborhood, in south Manchester.

Theo Brown, who lives near the Fallowfield address, told CBS News he heard a loud explosion and then saw about 50 law enforcement officers in the street.

The bomb wielded by Abedi was designed to kill and maim as many people as possible; many of the survivors suffered shrapnel wounds and ball bearings were found at the scene.

There was security at the concert, but the bomber apparently didn't try to get into the venue, instead blowing himself up in an entrance foyer area as concertgoers flooded out of the arena. Prime Minister May said the attacker had deliberately chosen "his time and place to cause maximum carnage" in the young crowd.

A nation that elects a Muslim as mayor of their capitol city and the Metropolitan Police advertises for Muslim recruits deserves this additional wake-up call!

If governments can justify imposing sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco products to defray the cost of health and social issues relate to their abuse, why can't they impose a security tax on Muslims to defray the cost of the added security we need to defend Western Civilization against their Sudden Jihad Syndrome (SJS) Muslim missionary attacks?

No doubt a member of the Church of England,right?

Well,to be fair it wasn't the nation that elected the goathumper. It was just the voters in the city of London,and even though I may have heard wrong,I have heard that white voters are now a minority in London and at least two other formerly British cities.

This is nothing less than conquering by assimilation and political means rather than military means.

The "refugees" are predominately young men under 30 with no education or job skills that are set up in free housing with free food,free clothing,free medical care,and enough cash money to live a lower middle-class lifestyle without having to work. And they will never have to work,either. All they have to do is refuse to take any classes to learn English or a trade,and they are retired for life and have all day every day to try to impregnate white British girls so they can stay forever as a Baby Daddy,and so there is one more Muslim voter/Jihad fighter to destroy the country.

HEY! That all sounds vaguely familiar! Anyone know of similar things happening in any other nations?

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Issue the whites weapons, ammunition, and hunting licenses with no bag limit. Include any politicos that facilitated the mess. Sink any inbound ships with "refugees" & shoot down any inbound planes with "refugees". Problem solved.

Yeah, I know. But makes sense to me.

So it was not a Scottish Presbyterian as many suspected. Ok....

Making sense is precisely the reason it won't be allowed to happen.

Yeah, that's true. Damn glad I don't live over there with that bunch of sheep. Real glad I live here, out in the boonies. If they come out here & try to start some of their shit, they will be fed to hogs, or end up in the garden area, as fertilizer.

It could have been the rabid Amish or the Mormons.

The West needs to recognize that ALL Muslims are potential terrorists!

The radical Muslim cuts off your head while the 'moderate' Muslim holds your feet down in order to insure a perfect cut!

NO SUCH THING. Well, they are good only when they are dead !!
