- Story Text: The father and brother of the man identified by Manchester police as Monday (May 22) night's suicide bomber used to attend a mosque in the south of the city.
Salman Abedi was named as the man who blew himself up in a crowded concert hall, leaving 22 dead and 59 injured.
Salman Abedi's father, known as Abu Ismael (Father of Ismael), used to pray at Didsbury Mosque in West Didsbury, a trustee for the mosque said.
Ismael, the elder brother of the suicide bomber, used to volunteer at the mosque, a trustee said.
British police were trying to establish whether Salman Abedi had acted alone or with help from others. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
