Manchester police have released photos of the suicide bomber Salman Abedi who is believed
to be responsible for the attack at an Ariana Grande Concert.
Abedi was identified within hours of the horrific attack but these photos were just released
as part of an effort to track what he was doing prior to the explosions.
The photos were obtained from security camera footage but the background is intentionally
blacked out behind Abedi, so it's not clear where the photos were taken from.
In a joint statement from Chief Constable Ian Hopkins and Neil Basu, a national coordinator
for U.K. Counter Terrorism Policing, they stressed a desire to find out what went into
this attack.
"This is still a live investigation which is not slowing down.
Our priorities are to understand the run up to this terrible event and to understand if
more people were involved in planning this attack."
At least 13 people have been arrested on suspicion of terror offenses, and 14 locations are actively
being searched by investigators.
While terrorist groups like ISIS have attempted to take responsibility for the attack, it
is still unclear as to who is responsible.
The world responded to Manchester with love and charity.
Celebrities like Eminem and Justin Timberlake donated to a fund started by the Manchester
Evening News and British Red Cross has raised over $2 million to support the victims and
families who were impacted by the event.
Ariana Grande suspended her tour after the attack, and responded to her fans apologizing
for what happened.
She later released a statement saying,
"We will never be able to understand why events like this take place because it is not in
our nature, which is why we shouldn't recoil.
We will not quit or operate in fear.
We won't let this divide us.
We won't let hate win."
