Just awful, kids ffs
The UK has strict enough security at events, how did this person get this in?
Was waiting outside for the crowds after the concert so security would have been eased down.
Scrub that
Ariana has broken her silence;
Is this little children or more late teenage / young 20’s kind of crowd?
Her audience would be mainly pre teens and teens. There were over 20,000 at it, she’s obviously pretty popular.
Bloody nora, could actually have been worse then, I didn’t realise it was that big a concert. Fucking hell.
The bomb was set off in the foyer outside the arena, so that may have reduced the casualties. Looks like it was a nail bomb given the nature of the injuries. Cunts.
Very bad. Terrorists only need to get lucky once.
There’s no luck involved. There’s estimated to be 800 UK born self proclaimed jihadis who have travelled to the ME, mainly Afghanistan and Syria, and a few hundred that have come back. A bomb like that isn’t hard to make once you’ve been trained, so that’s potentially 200 walking around that could do something similar. There’s no way to stop it, as long as we have dipshits who believe any preemptive act to control travel from these terrorist hotspots or control these nutters movements violates their human rights. Tell that to the parents looking at pieces of their kids this morning.
Could be a local as well.
You mean a lone wolf? It’s unlikely I think. More likely individuals from the UK who have become radicalized and probably have been to Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria. Source for the 800 jihadists claim.

Not convinced it’s either ISIS or Al-Qaeda and all the claims it’s ISIS are coming from unofficial sources. She’s always spot on with these things.
All she’s said so far is nobody’s claimed responsibility.
And she’s spot on, as usual.

DWas a very obvious target to get people coming out of an event. I was at the France Ireland rugby match in the Stade de France last year. The security going in to the ground was immense, there was no way you could get anything into the ground. Outside afterwards was different a wall of people houshing to get onto the train. Any randomner could have walked off the street and into the crowd and done what happened last night. I was so concerned in Paris I stepped out of the crowd until it had dispersed
