(BBC) The Manchester Arena suicide bomber made three scouting trips before detonating a device that killed 22 people, an inquiry has heard.
The hearing was shown CCTV footage of the visits in the days before the attack in the City Room foyer in 2017.
Salman Abedi’s first reconnaissance was before a Take That concert on 18 May, the day he landed in the UK from Libya where his parents lived.
On the day of the blast he was seen carrying a large, heavy rucksack.
Abedi, 22, was captured on film, wearing dark clothing and trainers, arriving at Victoria tram stop before walking around the perimeter of the railway station and adjoining Arena complex.
