Libya: Attack Plot and Libyan

libya: Additional arrests were made both in Britain and in Libya in the bombing that killed 22 people and wounded scores more, according to CTV. Among those taken into custody in Libya were the suspected bomber's father and his younger brother, the latter of whom confessed to knowing all the details of the attack plot, Libyan anti-terror authorities said. Officials scoured the background of the British-born ethnic Libyan identified as the bomber, saying he was likely part of a wider terrorist network. I think it's very clear this is a network we are investigating, said Chief Constable Ian Hopkins of the Manchester Police, as authorities raided British properties thought to be connected to Salman Abedi, the 22-year-old suspected bomber who grew up in Manchester and died in the attack. Meanwhile, officials probed possible travel by the alleged bomber, looking for clues to new threats. British Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Abedi likely did not act alone in the strike at the close of an Ariana Grande concert Monday night and that he had been known to security forces up to a point.
