Manchester Attack

Postby KEND on Tue May 23, 2017 3:00 am

As by now you are probably aware there was a terrorist attack at a concert in Manchester UK, 22 people were killed and 56 injured. For some weeks there have been many arrests in the London area but that probably left Manchester arguably the 2nd city, less guarded. Mostly teenagers which makes it even more poignant. No identification but probably home grown terrorist

I saw the poetry reading this morning, it was very moving. As I said, homegrown terrorist, trained abroad. The security forces are probably stretched but how did this one slip through, many trips abroad, family warned he was dangerous, looks like bomb was imported.

..."looks like bomb was imported..."
It is much easier to prepare something really dangerous abroad and "import" it quietly, not trying to buy explosives on the island, were security forces are red alert, I suppose.

btw,
In incident, parents of the Polish girl are killed, they were waiting for her near the exit .

Once again a terrorist attack, and, as before I predict home grown terrorists. The reactions are predictable, the right> more police more stop and search, stop immigration, the left: its the governments fault, foreign wars[incidentally waged by a labour government], more hate crimes as people ecpress their anger. There are no easy solutions
