IS claims Manchester bombing, says not suicide bombing
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for bombing a pop concert in the British city of Manchester and killing 22 people, including children.
The group says in a statement published on its social media channels that “one of the caliphate’s soldiers placed bombs among the crowds,” and threatened more attacks.
British police say they believe the bombing was a suicide attack.
