Police at this stage are not saying this is a bomb.

Its terrible news, thoughts go out to all those injured. So tragic.

Just saw it in Reuters

My condolences. This is terrible, i hope the manipulators can be found and sentenced.

Absolutely sickening, such a waste of life.

Deepest condolences to all those who have lost loved ones.

Just on the slightest chance anyone involved might read this post:

There are over 60 children without guardians at the Holiday Inn near the venue, if you're missing or can't get hold of a loved one ring 07896711298.

Chloe Rutherford (17) and Liam Curry (19) from South Shields are two of those still missing.

German news rang the alarm bell last night long before BBC had a headline. Went to bed and thought it would show to be a terrible accident, gas explosion or something. Did not expect it to become this much worse.

I think its safe to bet that this was no radical pro or anti Brexiteer, no militant Buddhist and no faithful Jew and now vegan Christian. But somebody else.

Damn Islam. Yeah, I take it for granted that this is what it is about. It should become law that every quran must display a dangerous hazard symbol on its front cover: "Warning, content is dangerous for your mental health. Should not be handled by males." Maybe considering to lock them away in cat-5 laboratories at the CDC in Atlanta. Heck, even Antrax and Ebola are not known to be this highly infectous.

A family we know from our sons doing martial arts in a neighborhood dojo, the wife is from Manchester, and was still trying to contact her family last night. As far as she knows, none of her family would have been there, but there had been so much ongoing telephone traffic in the area, she hadn't been able to contact anyone by 11 Eastern last night when I went to sleep. This kind of tragedy just leaves a hole in a persons heart, why? Though I do know why, I still ask the question... Our thoughts and prayers are extended, with a particular focus on our brothers and sisters of Manchester, England - humans, no matter the "diety" (or lack thereof) you are associated with...

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.

IS has claimed responsibility as reported on SKY News.

"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
