Greater Manchester Police: 'this is the most horrific incident we have ever faced'
At least 22 people, including some children, were killed and 59 wounded when a suicide bomber struck as thousands of fans streamed out of a concert by U.S. singer Ariana Grande in the English city of Manchester on Monday night (May 22), Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said.
"We have been treating this as a terrorist incident, and we believe at this stage, the attack last night was conducted by one man. The priority is to establish whether he was acting alone, or as part of a network. The attacker, I can confirm, died at the arena," Hopkins said.
Prime Minister Theresa May also said the incident was being treated as a terrorist attack.
Police said the attacker died after detonating explosives shortly after 10:33 pm (2133 GMT) at Manchester Arena, which has the capacity to hold 21,000 people. Children were among the dead, police said.
A witness who attended the concert said she felt a huge blast as she was leaving the arena, followed by screaming and a rush by thousands of people trying to escape the building.
May, who faces an election in two-and-a-half weeks, said she and Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition Labour Party, agreed to suspend campaigning ahead of the June 8 election.
It is the deadliest militant assault in Britain since four British Muslims killed 52 people in suicide bombings on London's transport system in July 2005.
