Monday night changed the music industry forever. No longer do we feel completely safe going to an innocent concert, because a gunman or a terrorist may be a part of the crowd. This is exactlt what happened Monday night in Manchester at an Ariana Grande concert. For those of you who don’t know Ariana, she’s a very popular singer who is beloved by lil girls all around the world. The 23 year old was on her Dangerous Woman tour when disaster struck an appearance in Manchester.

“Singer Ariana Grande is expressing her remorse following a terror attack at her concert in Manchester, England that left at least 22 people dead and 59 people wounded, including children.

ABC News

The brother of Salman Abedi, the suspect accused of carrying out a bombing in Manchester, England, that killed 22 people, allegedly said he knew his brother was going to carry out an attack, but did not know where or when, according to a spokesman for Libya’s counterterror forces.

Abedi, 22, the suspected suicide bomber, died at the scene of Monday night’s attack at an Ariana Grande concert.

Authorities found what was described to ABC News as a bomb-making workshop in Abedi’s home in Manchester, with enough chemicals to build additional bombs.

Libyan authorities had been following Hashem Abedi, the suspect’s brother who was born 1997, for a month and a half because of suspected links to ISIS, said Ahmed Dagdoug, the spokesman for Libya’s counterterror forces.

The two brothers were close, and Dagdoug said that Salman placed a call to Hashem, as well as their mother, 30 minutes before carrying out the attack.

On Tuesday, that brother was detained in Libya. During interrogation, Hashem Abedi revealed that he knew his brother was going to carry out an attack, but he did not know where or when, Dagdoug said.

Dagdoug said Hashem Abedi also revealed that he knew exactly how the bomb was made, and that he believes that Salman created the device by himself. He said that he provided some assistance to his brother, but added no specific details as to what that was.

Dagdoug said a network was involved in planning the attack.

The brothers came to Libya on April 18 and Salman Abedi departed on May 17, Dagdoug said.

It’s not clear at this time if Salman went to Syria, Dagdoug said.

Salman Abedi’s father, Ramadan Abedi, was also arrested in Libya.

Ramadan Abedi was interviewed by Reuters from Libya while in detention, and he denied that his son was a follower of ISIS, who claimed responsibility for the attack on Tuesday.

“Salman doesn’t belong to any organization,” he told the news agency. “The family is a bit confused because Salman doesn’t have this ideology, he doesn’t hold these beliefs.”

Dagdoug told ABC News that the two brothers do consider themselves to be members of ISIS and said that they had been studying ISIS videos online, including instructional videos that teach the viewer how to make a bomb.

Another one of the suspect’s brothers, 23-year-old Ismail Abedi, was arrested in Manchester, a security official confirmed to ABC News.

A total of seven people are in custody in Britain in connection with the attack. Under British law, a person can be taken into custody in a terrorism investigation and held up to 14 days without being charged.

Chief Constable Ian Hopkins of the Greater Manchester Police said today, “This is clearly a network that we are investigating, and extensive activity is taking place across Greater Manchester as we speak.””

First of all, the father of Salman Abedi is full of b.s. Three of his sons have been arrested because of this attack, but he’s still “confused because Salman doesn’t have these beliefs”? PLEASE! He was probably in on it too.

We just hope that every evil-doer who was involved in this cowardly act is captured and brought to justice. No more innocent lives should be taken by Isis or any other militant groups.

Speaking of innocent lives, we have 16 of the beautiful souls that were lost on Monday night. Six have yet to be announced. Some were children, some were teens, some were die-hard Ariana Grande fans, and some were simply great Moms and Dads who were doing their parental duties by picking up the kids.

An “inseparable” young couple, Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19, from South Shields, had been at the concert together.

Both were declared missing in the wake of the blast, and relatives mounted a social media campaign in a bid to find them.

They were “perfect in every way for each other and meant to be,” their families said in a joint statement.

“They wanted to be together forever and now they are,” they said.

Michelle Kiss was described as “a loving wife to Tony, mother to Dylan, Elliot and Millie, as well as daughter to Mick and Christine and sister to Nichola”.

In a statement, her family said: “Family was her life and we are all obviously devastated by her loss.

“She has been taken away from us, and all that love her, in the most traumatic way imaginable.”

Sorrell Leczkowski, from Leeds, is believed to have gone to the Manchester Arena with her family to pick up her sister.

The 14-year-old Allerton High School pupil was killed and her mother and grandmother, who is critically ill, are in hospital.

Her sister, who was at the concert, was not injured.

School pupil Nell Jones, 14, from Cheshire, died in the attack, Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School has said.

Head teacher Denis Oliver said the student’s family had “been searching for her since the incident in the hope that they would find her being cared for in hospital”.

Her former tutor David Wheeler said that she was a “popular girl, always smiling”, adding: “Her tutor group have been together since the transition from primary school.

“It feels like they have lost a sister not a classmate.”

Friends Alison Howe, 45, from Royton, and Lisa Lees, 47, from Oldham near Manchester, were killed while waiting in the foyer to pick up their daughters.

The girls, both aged 15, are believed to be safe.

Ms Howe’s stepson Jordan Howe confirmed her death on Facebook, writing: “They took a caring beautiful mum and step mother away from us all she was amazing to us all.”

Jane Tweddle-Taylor, 51, from Blackpool, was killed in the foyer as she went to the Arena with a friend to pick up the friend’s daughter.

Her husband Mark said: “She’s a lovely lady and a very good mother to her three daughters. She was liked by everybody, especially in the community in Blackpool where she worked.”

She was a receptionist at South Shore Academy School in Blackpool and was a “bubbly, kind, welcoming, funny, generous” colleague, the school’s principal has said.

Jane Bailey described Miss Tweddle-Taylor as a “well-loved member of staff” and “wonderful friend and colleague”.

Marcin and Angelika Klis, who were both from Poland and lived in York, were killed while collecting their daughters from the venue.

The couple’s daughter Alex Klis, 20, a student at York College, had posted an appeal on Facebook for information on their whereabouts.

The Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski told a radio station: “The parents came after the concert to collect their daughters and unfortunately we have information that they are dead. The children are safe.”

The Polish foreign ministry said: “We share the pain of the family and the loved ones of the victims and express our most sincere condolences.”

PR manager Martyn Hett, 29, was at the concert with his friend Stuart Aspinall when the pair became separated.

Mr Hett, from Stockport, was a Coronation Street fan and in 2015 was interviewed for the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme about his tattoo of the soap’s character Deirdre Barlow.

His former partner Russell Hayward said on Twitter: “We got the news last night that our wonderful iconic and beautiful Martyn didn’t survive.

“He left this world exactly how he lived, centre of attention.”

Kelly Brewster, 32, from Sheffield, died while shielding her niece from the blast, her family said.

Her uncle, Paul Dryhurst, said Ms Brewster had “heroically shielded” her 11-year-old niece from the explosion in the foyer after becoming separated from her sister at the end of the performance.

Her partner Ian Winslow wrote on Facebook: “Not sure how this works but it isn’t good news.

“Kelly Brewster wasn’t one of the unidentified hospital patients. She has sadly passed away in the terror attack.”

He added: “Kelly really was the happiest she has ever been and we had so many things planned together. My daughter Phoebe will be absolutely devastated like we all are.”

John Atkinson, 28, was described by friends as “a true gentleman” in online tributes.

Friends of Mr Atkinson, who lived in Radcliffe in Bury, have also set up a fundraising page to help his family, which has raised more than £4,000.

“John tragically lost his life last night (22/05/17) in the Manchester MEN bomb attack,” wrote Hayley Dickenson, who organised the fund.

“A true gentleman. R.I.P John thoughts and prayers with you family and all of the other victims effected by this tragedy,” she said.

“John was one in a million and loved by so many,” she added.

Student Georgina Callander, thought to have been 18, had already met the US singer Grande before seeing her perform on Monday.

She had previously posted a photograph of herself with the 23-year-old singer, taken in 2015, on her Instagram account.

Before the concert, Miss Callander had sent a Twitter message to Grande, saying: “SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU TOMORROW”.

Olivia Campbell, 15, was a “precious, gorgeous girl”, her mother has said in an online tribute.

Charlotte Campbell, from Bury in Greater Manchester, wrote: “RIP my darling precious gorgeous girl… taken far far too soon go sing with the angels and keep smiling mummy loves you so much.”

Olivia’s family had spent the day desperately searching for her, hoping she was one of the dozens of people being treated in hospital.

She was a pupil at Tottington High School, where head teacher Brian Duffy described her as “a delightful young girl”.

“As a school community we are absolutely devastated and heartbroken at the news that Olivia has passed away,” he said in a statement.

Eight-year-old Saffie Roussos was “simply a beautiful little girl in every sense of the word,” said Chris Upton, head teacher at Lancashire’s Tarleton Community Primary School.

“She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly,” he said.

He added: “News of Saffie’s death in this appalling attack has come as a tremendous shock to all of us and I would like to send our deepest condolences to all of her family and friends.

“The thought that anyone could go out to a concert and not come home is heartbreaking.

“Our focus is now on helping pupils and staff cope with this shocking news and we have called in specialist support from Lancashire County Council to help us do that.”

A policewoman

A female off-duty officer from Cheshire Police was killed while at the concert with her family, Greater Manchester police has confirmed.

She was with her husband, who remains critically ill, and two children, who were injured.

Greater Manchester chief constable Ian Hopkins, who did not name her, said: “Very sadly I can confirm one of the victims is a serving police officer.”

This is enough to make you wanna sit in a corner and cry. Imagine going to a concert that you have been looking forward to attending for weeks, and then BAM! It all comes to a tragic end in a blink of an eye.

Ariana Grande has cancelled her tour dates through June 5th, and has graciously offered to refund ticket money to any purchasers who are feeling a lil spooked about going to a future concert.
