In what could be described as one of the worst terror attack in Britain, at least 19 people were killed and dozens of other injured as a suspected suicide bomber carried out a carnage during an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. The explosion occurred near the foyer area of the arena in what is being reported as a "nail bomb attack". A man found dead at the scene is thought to be the probable suicide bomber, according to reports. Last England saw such a deadly terror attack was in 2005 when on July 7, terrorists carried out a series of coordinated suicide bomb attacks in central London which targeted civilians using the public transport system during the rush hour. Fifty-two people were killed and over 700 more were injured in the attacks. Also, in 2009, the Manchester police had thwarted a major terror bid to attack Manchester's Arndale shopping centre on the busy Easter bank holiday weekend. With up to 90,000 shoppers in or near the shopping centre at the time, police believe an attack would have killed hundreds and maimed thousands. A student identified as Abid Naseer, 29, who plotted the mass suicide bomb attack was jailed for 40 years in 2015. (ANI)
