MI5 missed 'significant opportunity' to prevent 2017 Manchester Arena bombing

The UK's top domestic security service MI5 missed a significant opportunity to take action that might have prevented a deadly suicide bombing in Manchester, a public inquiry has found.

The inquiry found that a focus on the threat from Syria at the time meant security services had "underestimated" the risk presented by returning travellers from Libya, like Abedi, though it would have been "impractical" to screen every traveller. Sir John said Abedi had been radicalised by his childhood in Libya during the civil war, influenced by his father who held "extremist views".The younger brother of the bomber, Hashem, wasA third, elder brother, Ismail, was in July convicted in absentia, having fled Britain.

Ms Curry's 19-year-old son Liam and his 17-year-old girlfriend Chloe Rutherford were among the victims of the attack.

Fire them all.
