(BBC) The mosque which the Manchester Arena bomber attended failed to adequately “challenge extremist ideology” in the years before the attack, the families of his victims have said.
A former Didsbury Mosque imam has told the Manchester Arena inquiry support for terror groups was preached there.
In a statement, some of the bereaved said they were “dismayed” by the mosque’s “failure to acknowledge this.”
A trustee has previously told the inquiry the mosque was “mainstream.”
On Tuesday, the chairman of the mosque’s trustees, [Fawzi] Haffar, said encouraging any radicalisation would be “in contradiction of our charitable objects.”
