(BBC) Salman Abedi “blended in too well” to be picked up by security on the night he detonated a suicide bomb at the Manchester Arena, an inquiry has heard.
James Allen, arena manager for SMG, said he was not aware that teenagers as young as 16 were employed as stewards before the attack in 2017.
Mr Allen told the inquiry he had also been unaware there was a CCTV blind spot in the City Room foyer area.
He said significant changes had been made to security in the area.
Counsel to the public inquiry, Paul Greaney QC, asked Mr Allen if he thought it was acceptable that stewards contracted to work at the venue were under 18.
