(BBC) A convicted terror offender who was the Manchester Arena bomber’s friend “is unfit to give evidence” to the inquiry into the attack, his lawyer has said.
Abdalraouf Abdallah was visited by the bomber Salman Abedi in prison in the months before the 2017 attack.
He has refused to appear at the inquiry but families of the attack’s victims want to know why he cannot be forced.
A hearing was told a decision on whether the families could access his medical reports would be made later.
Abdallah, who is in prison, is refusing to give evidence to the Manchester Arena inquiry even though he has been described as having had a significant relationship with Abedi.
