Manchester Arena inquiry: Bomber’s brother had IS material

(BBC) The Manchester Arena bomber’s elder brother had a “significant” amount of extremist material when he was teaching at a mosque, an inquiry has heard.

Ismail Abedi helped with Quran reading in Arabic in classes at Didsbury Mosque between February 2014 and July 2017.

The Manchester Arena inquiry was told images of him and his brothers holding weapons and pro-Islamic State material was found on his devices in 2015.

A mosque trustee told the inquiry “no radicalisation” was taught there.

Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated his homemade device at the venue on 22 May 2017.
