(BBC) Four risk assessments carried out prior to [the] Manchester Arena attack “failed to adequately assess” the terror threat at the venue, an inquiry has heard.
Security expert Colonel Richard Latham said the risk of a suicide bombing at a venue like the Manchester Arena should have been “crystal clear.”
The terror threat level at the time of the 2017 bombing was classed as severe.
The public inquiry, scheduled to last into next spring, is looking at events before, during and after the attack.
Twenty-two people were killed and many more injured when Salman Abedi detonated an explosive as fans left the Ariana Grande concert.
