(BBC) Hashem Abedi, who was jailed for his part in the Manchester Arena attack, was probably “more influential” than the bomber, an inquiry has heard.
Abedi, who is serving a life sentence, helped organise the attack his brother Salman carried out in 2017.
Extremism expert Dr Matthew Wilkinson told the Manchester Arena inquiry the way the brothers divided their roles suggested Hashem was more dominant.
“The people that do the radicalising don’t do the deed,” he said.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when a bomb was detonated in the foyer of Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017.
