Manchester Arena’s suicide bomber brother to be charged with murder, after extradition from Libya

The younger brother of the Manchester Arena suicide bomber will be charged with murder after being extradited to the UK, police say.

Officers escorted Hashem Abedi on a plane from Libya on Wednesday.

His brother, Salman Abedi, blew himself up at the end of a show by US singer Ariana Grande in May 2017, killing 22 people including seven children.

Britain issued an arrest warrant for Hashem six months later but it was only today that he was handed over to UK authorities.
