London: The UK’s MI5 intelligence agency has launched urgent inquiries into how it missed the danger posed by the Manchester bomber, as British police carried out fresh raids and arrested another person on Monday  in connection with the suicide attack that claimed 22 lives last week.
In connection with the concert bombing, a 23-year-old man was arrested in Shoreham-by-Sea, more than 400 kilometres from Manchester, on suspicion of terror offences.
Greater Manchester Police said they had also executed search warrants at addresses in the Whalley Range area of Manchester and in Chester overnight. Two men — one of them aged 19 and the other 25 — were arrested on Sunday on suspicion of terror activities.
The total number of people in cusody in connection with the bombing was 14 while two others were earlier released without charge.
MI5 has launched two urgent inquiries into how it missed the danger posed by the Manchester bomber, Salman Abedi, amid claims his interest in being a potential terrorist killer was repeatedly reported to the authorities.
Britain’s domestic security service started one review last week, which will aim to quickly identify any glaring errors, while the other will be more in depth, The Guardian reported. (PTI)
