According to reports from Britain, the country's security forces are searching for accomplices of the suicide bomber in Manchester. The Manchester explosion resulted in the deaths of 22 people, including an eight-year-old girl. The Associated Press states that the pursuit to find the accomplices of Salman Abedi, the perpetrator of the suicide attack during the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, continues. Theresa May, the Prime Minister of Britain, has also stated that the likelihood of another attack in the country is 'imminent.' The suicide attack in Manchester has left at least 22 victims. Many of those who attended the Ariana Grande concert were teenagers, and one of the victims was an eight-year-old girl. On May 22, Theresa May stated, 'We are working hard to understand the twisted and warped mind that sees a venue full of children not as a place for love, but as a place for revenge.' These remarks were made as the British government raised the security alert level in the country from 'severe' to 'critical.' Raising the security level to 'critical' means that British military forces can take the place of police in protecting and safeguarding public places. In recent hours, British citizens have paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack in various locations; on Tuesday evening, thousands, including leaders and political figures in Britain, such as Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, and senior government officials, participated in a memorial service in Manchester. The group known as the Islamic State has claimed that Salman Abedi was one of its 'soldiers.' The attacker was a 22-year-old individual born in Britain to Libyan parents. British media have reported that Abedi was known to security agencies, and the Financial Times has reported that he had 'radicalized' over the years. According to the Press Association, Abedi was previously a management student at the University of Salford in Manchester but dropped out after two years and did not return to university. The Manchester attacker used a homemade explosive device packed with shrapnel for his attack. City surveillance footage shows that he placed the explosive device in a suitcase; he set the suitcase down among a crowd primarily made up of children and teenagers and then detonated it. In this context, the explosion in Manchester left 22 dead and 59 injured. Images and videos released after the explosion in Manchester show the aftermath. ISIS claimed responsibility for the deadly Manchester explosion. The threat level for terrorism in Britain has been raised.
