Hashem Abedi, brother of Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi has been sentenced to at least 55 years for murders of 22 people in 2017 terrorist attack
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Salman’s baby bro and bomb assistant, he was arrested for cause in Tripoli, where he was pretending to have nothing to do with that messy nonsense back home. Scion of the Manchester Libyan jihadi crowd. The parental generation ties back to the al-Qaeda-aligned Libyan Islamic Fighting Group in the 1990s, while the kids pledged to the even more romantic ISIS. Not that it makes much difference in the end — the networks overlap personnel-wise, it’s just a matter of the name on the checking account paying their expenses. And now, after snubbing the sentencing hearing yesterday, the unbelievers went and sentenced him anyway.

#2 "On credit, at 2.5 years
To the life," mused Mahmoud, "it appears
That I'd die, should I hurry --
As would I, don't worry! --
A century or ten in arrears."
