(BBC) A convicted terrorist who spoke to the Manchester Arena bomber on an illegal prison mobile obtained another phone after the first was confiscated, a public inquiry heard.
Abdalraouf Abdallah, 27, was released from prison on licence last month on what are said to be strict conditions.
He is an important witness, but refuses to answer questions about contact with Salman Abedi, the inquiry has heard.
Abedi’s suicide attack killed 22 people at the end of a concert on 22 May 2017.
The inquiry is investigating how extremism is tackled in prisons and what is done to monitor contact with inmates who have been involved in radicalising others.
