(BBC) Security errors were made at Manchester Arena before it was attacked, but they had not contributed to the bombing, an inquiry has heard.
Showsec’s barrister Jonathan Laidlaw QC told a hearing the security firm had fallen short in some areas at the venue but had not been “complacent.”
He said there was “little doubt” the bomb would have been detonated even with security intervention.
The inquiry has heard security mistakes contributed to the venue being unsafe.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a home-made device in the arena’s City Room foyer as fans left an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
