(BBC) The families of 22 people killed in the Manchester Arena bombing have opposed moves to allow a senior MI5 officer to give evidence behind a screen at the public inquiry into the terror attack.
Government lawyers want the security service member to only be seen by the inquiry’s chairman and lawyers.
The detailed reasons for needing the screen were also secret, lawyers said.
But the legal team representing the families argued the screen would not deliver an “open and fair inquiry.”
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds injured when Salman Abedi, 22, detonated a suicide bomb as fans left the arena following an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
