Manchester concert attack: Suicide bomber’s brother jailed for life

A man who helped his elder brother carry out a suicide bomb attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in the English city of Manchester three years ago which killed 22 people was on Thursday jailed for life.

The attack was the deadliest in Britain since the 2005 London transport suicide bombings which killed 52 people.

Among the dead were seven children, the youngest aged just eight, while 237 people were injured.

Hashem Abedi, 23, was convicted of murder, attempted murder and conspiring to cause explosions at a trial that ended in March.

The bombing, carried out by his 22-year-old brother Salman, detonated among crowds of mostly young people.
