MANCHESTER, England — The suicide bomber who killed 22 people after an Ariana Grande concert was part of a network that included his brother, who was arrested Wednesday as he was allegedly plotting a terrorist attack on the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
The revelation came as British troops were deployed to protect landmarks in major cities and five more suspects, including suspected bomber Salman Abedi’s father were arrested.
“It is very clear this is a network we are investigating,” Manchester police chief Ian Hopkins said. “We are carrying out extensive searches.”
Meanwhile, NBC News reported that Abedi was also on the radar of the U.S. intelligence community.
