Terror attack in Manchester

It's sad that I have made several threads  that start with the phrase "terror attack". I'm sure you've all heard by now, but...

Twenty-two people, including an eight-year-old girl, have been killed and 59 were injured in a suicide bombing at Manchester Arena, at the end of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande.

A man set off a homemade bomb in the foyer at 22:33 BST on Monday, in what Theresa May called a "sickening" act. Armed police have arrested a 23-year-old man in Chorlton, south Manchester, in connection with the attack.

Saffie Rose Roussos, eight years old, was a pupil at Tarleton Primary School, in Lancashire. Her head teacher, Chris Upton, said she had been "simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word" and was "loved by everyone".

Student Georgina Callander, believed to have been 18, has also been named as among the dead.

Sixty ambulances went to Manchester Arena after the attack and the wounded are being treated at eight hospitals around the city. Among them are 12 children under the age of 16.

It is the worst terrorist attack in the UK since the 7 July bombings in 2005, in which 52 people were killed by four suicide bombers. So-called Islamic State has said - via IS channels on the messaging app Telegram - it was behind the Manchester attack. The BBC understands the perpetrator was British or from UK.

Terrorist attacks are obviously abhorrent; but to attack innocent children is just dumbfounding. I hate people.
