Manchester Arena inquiry: No sign of Abedi’s extremism at school, teacher says

(BBC) The Manchester Arena bomber’s former head teacher has told an inquiry there was no sign of his extremism while he was at school.

Twenty-two people were killed when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb in the venue’s foyer on 22 May 2017.

Abedi studied at Burnage Academy for Boys in Manchester for about 18 months between 2009 and 2011.

Former head teacher Ian Fenn said there was “no indication” from school staff that Abedi or his family had extreme or radical views.
