(BBC) A taxi driver who took Salman Abedi on his final journey to the Manchester Arena has described how the bomber asked for his prayers.
Tariq Nadeem, who drives a black cab, was approached by Abedi outside Piccadilly station in the city centre on the evening of 22 May 2017.
He told the public inquiry into the bombing that, during the journey, Abedi handed him a “pocket Koran.”
Within hours, Abedi had murdered 22 people at the end of a music concert.
Mr Nadeem said, at about 19:30 GMT, he was asked by Abedi, who he did not know, to take him to a flat on Granby Row before driving to Shudehill tram stop, which is near the arena.
