Manchester suicide bomber attended anti-Netanyahu protest 2 years earlier
[IsraelTimes] Salman Abedi, who killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017, was already on MI5’s radar when he joined demo by Corbyn-backed group against London visit by Israeli PM.
By your friends do we know you. Congrats, NeverNetanyahuers. Love what you’ve done with yourselves.
The terrorist who killed 22 people in a suicide kaboom in the British city of Manchester in 2017 had attended a protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to London two years prior to the attack, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

Salman Abedi attended the September 2015 protest organized by the Paleostine Solidarity Campaign, an organization backed by former UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

There was no suggestion that Abedi was formally linked to either the PSC or Corbyn.

According to the report, Abedi was among a group who traveled from Manchester to attend the Downing Street rally before moving to a second protest outside the United Arab Emirates embassy. The newspaper said the second protest was organized by a British group that supported a Libyan militia with ties to al-Qaeda’s Ansar al-Sharia
...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet...
Two years later, inspired by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, Abedi detonated explosives among crowds of mostly young people leaving an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena.

A public inquiry heard last month that Abedi was associated with six MI5 "subjects of interest" and visited an incarcerated terrorist twice prior to the attack.

According to the Guardian, Abedi had himself been made a "subject of interest," but his file was closed in July 2014 — a year before the anti-Netanyahu protest and three years before the Manchester attack.

In August, Abedi’s brother Hashem, 23, was tossed in the calaboose

for life for playing an "integral part" in the attack. He was convicted of murder, attempted murder, and conspiring to cause explosions at a trial that ended in March.

The court heard he was in Libya when the attack took place on May 22, 2017, but helped his brother plan it for several weeks, including by obtaining chemicals for the homemade bomb.
