(BBC) Greater Manchester Police has admitted it made errors on the night of the Manchester Arena bombing and in its planning for a terrorist attack.
But it said “catastrophic failures” by an incident commander in the early stages of the police response were “not foreseeable,” an inquiry heard.
The force duty officer (FDO) on shift when the bomb exploded failed to tell other emergency services a counter-terrorism operation had been declared.
The 2017 atrocity killed 22 people.
The public inquiry into the attack, which happened at the end of an Ariana Grande concert, heard former Ch Insp Dale Sexton did not set up a shared talk channel between emergency services.
