Typical - go for a soft target. It's what the cowards do.

Two girls from the Isle of Barra still unaccounted for: LINK.

22 confirmed fatalities.

Police are reporting that the perpetrator died at the scene.

A Man has been arrested in connection to the attack.

There has been a possible second attack at Arndale Shopping Centre, also in Manchester.

Another cowardly act and more innocent lives lost. Hoping the perpetrators are found and brought to justice. Deepest sympathies to those hurt and their families.

"Claimed responsibility" my donkey.
If someone called someone to claim this, one should be able to follow this connection, or all this MIxyz hubbub and eavesdropping is obviously worth nothing.

Why do they do that, i wonder. Killing innocents, i mean you cannot accuse the assassin for cowardice since he killed himself. Suppression of muslims? Which ones, Sunnis or Shiites? The US helps the Sunnis since WW2, and now Trump again. Just of all those Saudi-arabian Wahabites are a special kind of religious nuts though, and even worse than the other branches. Does not make it in the news somehow.
Retaliation for drone attacks also killing innocents? Enough videos showing the killing of children with drones, and they call it collateral damage. Perfect way to breed new terrorists.
But whatever, after some radicalisation i guess you have no reasons, and you need none to do anything
