ITV News published this video item, entitled “Man who tried to raise alarm about Manchester Arena bomber ‘fobbed off’ inquiry told | ITV News” – below is their description.
A man who tried to raise the alarm about suicide bomber Salman Abedi was “fobbed off”. Police were alerted to the lone jihadist carrying a large rucksack apparently praying outside the Manchester Arena, the first day of the public inquiry into the terror attack heard. Loved ones of the 22 murdered in the attack wiped away tears as a minute’s silence was held, and later shook their heads as it was disclosed members of the bomber’s family are not co-operating with the inquiry into the terror outrage on May 22, 2017. The inquiry was told of “missed opportunities” in the hours before Abedi, surrounded by a throng of elated youngsters leaving an Ariana Grande show, exploded his shrapnel-packed rucksack bomb at 10.31pm, sending thousands of nuts and bolts shredding everything in their path. A member of the public had challenged a man, matching Salman Abedi’s description and carrying a large rucksack, as he looked “out of place”, the inquiry was told.
