Manchester [U.K.], May 24 (ANI): The Manchester terrorist attack that claimed 22 innocent lives has shaken people around the world, as the victims in the blast are now beginning to be identified. Eight-year old Saffie Rose Roussos has been described as "simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word," by the head teacher of her Lancashire school, according the Guardian. Saffie was one of the 22 who lost their young life in the ruthless terrorist attack at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. Saffie's mother and sister were amongst those who were injured in the blast and are admitted in hospital for treatment. Georgina Callander, 18, had tweeted to Ariana Grande before the concert saying, "So excited to see you tomorrow." She too, was a victim of the senseless terrorism.
