Manchester Blast: Explosion At Ariana Grande Concert Venue; Appalling, Says Theresa May
At least 19 people were killed in an explosion at a concert in Manchester in the United Kingdom on Monday where US pop singer Ariana Grande had been performing and two US officials said a suicide bomber was suspected in the explosion.
If confirmed as a terrorism incident, it would be the deadliest attack in Britain by militants since four British Muslims killed 52 people in suicide bombings on London's transport system in July 2005.
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.
