Twenty-two people were killed and 260 others were maimed.
Hashem Abedi appeared at the Old Bailey in London, England’s central criminal court.
Raised in Manchester, he traveled to Libya ahead of the attack. The 22-year-old was arrested in Tripoli

He appeared in court wearing spectacles, a grey sweatshirt, and a burgundy t-shirt.
It took six minutes for him to register not guilty pleas to each of the 22 murder counts.
Abedi was remanded in jug at the top-security Belmarsh prison in southeast London.
His trial, expected to last up to eight weeks, was due to start in mid-November but was rescheduled to begin on January 13.
