(BBC) The security services made “grave breaches of their duty” in failing to stop the Manchester Arena bomber and should face questions from the bereaved families, the attack inquiry has heard.
Salman Abedi, 22, killed 22 people when he detonated a device on 22 May 2017.
Fourteen witnesses are due to appear at closed Manchester Arena inquiry hearings about MI5 and counter-terrorism police’s conduct.
Lawyers for the bereaved families want the chance to question the witnesses.
The upcoming sessions will examine the conduct of the security services before the attack and consider what they knew about Abedi.
