Among the dead were seven children, the youngest aged just eight, while 237 people were injured.
Once again, devout Muslims “misunderstanding” Islam according to the Democrat media complex.
There were others involved. Hashem Abedi persuaded acquaintances to buy chemicals to make the explosives and had sourced metal drums used to build prototype devices. How many blew up children and are still at large?
Mark Rowley, Britain’s top counterterrorism police officer, said authorities have dismantled a “large part” of the network around bomber Salman Abedi. But he said there were still “gaps in our understanding” of the plot, as investigators probed Abedi’s potential links to jihadis in Britain, Europe, Libya and the Middle East.
Manchester Arena bomber’s brother Hashem Abedi given 55-year sentence
By ABC.net, August 20, 2020:
A man who helped his elder brother carry out a suicide bomb attack, which killed 22 people at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in the English city of Manchester three years ago, has been jailed for at least 55 years.
Key points:
- 22 people were killed and 237 were injured when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb at the Manchester Arena in 2017
- His brother Hashem was convicted in March of helping plot and carry out the attack
- The sentencing judge said the brothers were equally culpable
In March Hashem Abedi, 23, was found guilty of murder for encouraging and helping his brother Salman to blow himself up at the Manchester Arena as parents arrived to collect their children at the end of the May 2017 concert.
Among the dead were seven children, the youngest aged just eight, while 237 people were injured.
The attack was the deadliest in Britain since the 2005 London transport suicide bombings, which killed 52 people.
Judge Jeremy Baker said the men were equally culpable and had deliberately targeted a concert attended by young people, where almost half those killed were children or teenagers.
“The stark reality is that these were atrocious crimes: large in their scale, deadly in their intent and appalling in their consequences,” Judge Baker told London’s Old Bailey court.
He jailed Abedi for life for murder and conspiracy to cause an explosion, and said he would serve at least 55 years behind bars.
Abedi was not in court for the sentencing hearing, having refused to enter the courtroom where distraught families of victims had given harrowing accounts of the devastating impact the bombing had had on their lives.
The Abedi brothers, born to Libyan parents who emigrated to Britain during the rule of late leader Muammar Gaddafi, had plotted the attack at their home in south Manchester, experimenting with the construction of a homemade device.
They made the device at a separate address in the city and then bought a car to store the bomb-making equipment, shortly before they returned to Libya in mid-April 2017.
Hashem remained in Libya while his 22-year-old brother carried out the bombing, but police said he persuaded acquaintances to buy chemicals to make the explosives and had sourced metal drums used to build prototype devices.
Hashem denied involvement but offered no evidence in his trial and a jury agreed he was as guilty of murder as his brother.

britian is done, this should anger people to be in the streets, but it wont because people are more afraid of being called racist
Big demo in Nottingham today big demo coming up on the 5th September at Dover followed by another Demo at Rochdale.
And that’s just a few. Try doing some research before opening your big know it all gob.
55 years for conspiring to kill 7 people and wounding hundreds of others? That doesn’t sound like a very just sentence. How long before the muslum vermin will be eligible for parole?
The POS killed 22 and injure many others.
You’re right, I confused the 7 children victims with the total number of victims. Mass murder and only 55 years, disgusting.
Handcuff him and put him in a room with the victims relatives film it and then feed his remains if there are any to dogs – stop coddling these homicidal psychopaths – Put the FEAR of God not allah into them –
Exactly as the judge should’ve said life without parole , I noticed nothing was done about the albedi family how they lived a very comfortable life, his father went back to Libya then the mother just maybe year before yet benefits we’re still being paid to the parents when they were no longer in the country and the brothers had a video shot of them buying components with his mothers card courtesy of our benefit system that goes so very easy on muslims unlike those whose worked & paid into the system as is found also to be the case of absent gone to Syria jihadis also paid for the trip and living in Syria benefits system that keeps on giving but never checks up and the police knew of this jihadi who screeched his evil muslim extremist rubbish in the street where they lived in a semi detached house with a isis flag on the chimney no less but obviously the police omitted these facts and decided he wasn’t a threat despite the typical jihadi broadcast as they love our freedom of speech just for them but not for us and dropped the ball leaving all the signs of parents leaving and the trips to Libya beforehand, the preparation, street threats , so people but specifically our children were going to be there , so it’s the lowest scum thing to target the softest of all targets in a war but we aren’t in a war only jihadis are in mindset at war with us and men women and children died and badly maimed but this wasn’t in Afghanistan or Syria this was in England and the easiest of targets because they know they won’t get the third degree drilling before access to benefits is granted as many people know including people who died as part of the grilling sick and disabled people get and then have to wait years for a tribunal before they get the money unlike the muslim refugees route where everything is possible with every desire given them like kings when it should be the other way around as most come here and that bomber made his way back via Ireland ! Red flags anybody ? But no England had preferential treatment for them even given new home’s promised to people who’ve waited years plus the added insult of up to date big screen tv’s just to help with the language you understand then the police wonder why people promised new housing for decades even , get turned into an angry mob and why people end up racist when your own country betrays you for the enemy . As it is so easy now that the isis jihadis got free passes to come home so they can kill more of us or eye up our young underage girls and men pretending to be young lads get put up in accommodation leading to the rape of young girls , over a thousand Syrians guilty of sexual assault since coming to Uk and when Britain first warns people of the threat so near to schools they get sent to jail for doing the responsible thing – protecting our young girls from grooming gangs . At least one person in every town full of muslims can tell you how long this has been going on and ignored by the ???? Police ! More afraid of that word island phobia than the protection of our kids and now it’s killing, what next as if it’s one person doing the killing then why the hell have all those jihadis not been locked up for life, they’ve killed people in Syria, they massacred yazidi boys and men and old women, raped and killed so many thousands of girls and women one of which begged for USA to bomb them to be free yet here they all are what’s left of them back in our midst and treated like kings , the murdering scum, forgiveness and flowers won’t stop the carnage and silencing us while failing to rehabilitate them leading to the London killings , no wonder with all the benefits without being checked or given the same gruelling grilling before they get what should be the same money and the same pay a quarter of your tax & rent & extra room tax seeing as they come in big families, it’s no wonder that France a safe Zhengan zone country is nothing compared to a boat trip assisted to safety and led to luxury is the number one boat trip worth taking as they throw away the french social security cards in the sea and it makes you really angry and hard when it’s these goody two shoes people who don’t have to get exposed to this carnage who literally use islamophobia laws from an EU law we’ve supposedly left plus the corona slash every disease eradicated long ago re introduced so it’s time to stop taking our free speech away our customs our religious freedoms our education without Islamic forced indoctrination and also in our jails where violent criminals convert as violence is allowed against non muslims so yes it’s time to call a halt and do a Trump order to stop this and get back to good old fashioned well funded policing so that police don’t automatically side with the muslim when trouble erupts with a “ what did you say or do to upset them ?” when it’s the muslim who’s the problem. No more automatic allowance of riots when one of them gets killed by their own car chases or they’ve been found to have drugs and guns on them , no more grooming gangs cover ups , no more conversations to Islam in jails by removing imams and no more boat crossings allowed , tow them back to France to deal with as the Uk is just an island and we’re overloaded through decades of breeding on benefits which young lasses did and were stopped from having kids to get a flat job . No more pushing the British people whose descendants fought and died to keep us free , no more forced halal in fast food British businesses , no more prayer rooms in every building that is meant for all, no more abuse of NHS come here have baby then leave no pay ! No more ignoring when should we get back to normal of having 2 to visit a relative to a bed and openly get away with crowding round to the point the patient can’t access one side of the bed , usually the locker because all the chairs behind the curtain are there , no more in a women’s ward allowing someone of their family to sleep or stay there including fathers of daughters and all the other arrogant anti social not distancing not compliant behaviour on top of bad landlords as most private homes are owned and are dangerous to the people that need a home, they are the biggest form of minority this country has ever seen and that doesn’t include the good decent ones who do obey help and care for people but as we have hundreds of thousands of our people homeless, they should be seen to first not those who already had homes given them abroad but are so greedy and know by word of mouth the special rules that give them more than us , more than our nurses so it’s time before the next jihadi strike to get rid of the system they are abusing left right hand and centre which is why we are a joke abroad as we’ve watered down our great traditions and power by giving it all away instead of strengthening the British people and standing up to political Islam and the looney left so everyone is treated fairly and equally and bring back into action the treason law with it’s penalties for those who have put our lives and our children at risk over a WORD created by a terrorist organisation. Muslims who came to work for a better life will thank you as they no longer will have their community seen as a separate entity and end the no go zones making democracy a laughing stock when the minority is the majority and becomes the muslim vote not a democratic one !
Quite right.
They’re here to replace us and a merciful attitude will only help them.
Have a happy Sunday Dave.
Thanks M. You too mate
No parole hearing will be heard for at least 55 years. That is his minimum sentence behind bars.
At last the British judiciary has done its duty.
Thank G-d for that. The only good news to come out of this.
Hope he gets the boiling sugar water treatment and a good few stripes added to his ugly mug so when he finally gets out when in his 80s his disgusting crime will be remembered every time he looks in a mirror.
I’m pretty sure if the Brit patriots doing time get their hands on this child killer he won’t ever see the light of day as a free man again.
That’s what we hope for.
Its done in the name of the ‘religion of peace’ – nothing to read here.
Now just imagine if this case had been prosecuted or heard by a muslum dominated judiciary? Would the sentence be time served? Or maybe just a couple of years like the muslums who blew up two synagogues in Turkey (killing 26 people) on the same day in Istanbul in 2003?
Killing the kuffar is never punished in the same manner as killing muslums in islamic states, if it’s punished at all.
No its heralded –
“Abedi was not in court for the sentencing hearing, having refused to enter the courtroom where distraught families of victims had given harrowing accounts of the devastating impact the bombing had had on their lives.”
That son of Mohammad — and immigrants welcomed to England — should have been dragged into the courtroom and chained to a chair for duration of families testimony. Forced to listen to the real human consequences of his part in cruel inhuman atrocity.
Then swiftly and publicly executed, afterwards (maybe by nail-bomb)!
YES —- MuhamMUD!!! A 55 Yr. sentence WON’T deter any future terrorists, or effectively PUNISH this LOUSE for taking a very active part in this horrendous bombing. INDEED ——-Gals and Guys. ( I’m into US Law as a legal assistant, NOT an attorney, and I CAN’T GIVE LEGAL ADVICE OR INTERPRET THE LAW . I TRULY am in the DARK about many points of the BRITISH COURT SYSTEM. .) Several of US HERE, myself included, DO NOT THINK THIS CREEP GOT NEARLY ENOUGH OF A SENTENCE……AND TRULY, THIS SENTENCE IS REALLY : NO PRACTICAL GOOD, IF THIS PERP WALKS IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS. I THOUGHT THAT A CRIME = LIKE THAT = WOULD BRING IN THE DEATH PENALTY AUTOMATICALLY ; OR AT LEAST, “NATURAL LIFE,” WHICH I BELIEVE, WOULD MEAN HE WOULD RECEIVE SO MANY LIFE SENTENCES STRUNG OUT FOR VARIOUS RELATED OFFENSES, THAT WHEN ADDED UP = HE’D HAVE NO TIME TO GO FREE. Well, tragically, HE GOT “CODDLED,” AND HIS APPEALS ARE PROBABLY BEING DRAFTED ALREADY. ( Little comfort for the widowed Mother of the young man who was killed, or maimed for life, in the bombing. A lot of good this does for her.)

Ariana Grande ‘overheard saying she hoped her fans would all f***ing die’

What a degenerate. I hope her fans have well noted her regard for them and stopped buying her music.
55 years???
I don’t believe he’ll do 55 months.
Some scumbag lawyer will do his appeal and get him out on ‘cultural’ or ‘mental health’ grounds.
If our government had any morals, ethics, decency or a sense of justice, they would have hanged this POS, publicly.
Isn’t the one one where they were locked out or they would have killed more people. the police had to keep tabs on them from roof tops and wait for their armed people like swat to intercept them. while they watched as they kept shooting at innocent soft targets. the police there are not armed so call 911 and wait to die people. sad why not life no parole
Your definitely confused ????
