LONDON: Salman Abedi, the bomber who took the lives of 22 people and injured over 50 people in Manchester’s Arena concert, telephoned his mother hours before the deadly attack and said, “forgive me”.
The Daily Mail, citing Libyan anti-terror officials, said Abedi called his younger brother Hashem in Libya, telling him to get their mother, Samia Tabbal to call him.
Samia, 50, a nuclear scientist, was fearful her son had been radicalized. It has been claimed she had alerted the authorities as well.
Samia Tabbal was interrogated by police in Tripoli, Libya.
Police in Tripoli on Wednesday arrested Abedi's younger brother Hashem and his father Ramadan Abedi, who said he did not expect the attack.
