MANCHESTER Police say army bomb disposal experts are responding to a call to a Hulme college. Nearby streets have been closed and helicopters are flying overhead.
Local media is reporting up to 10 vehicles filled with armed police entering Linby St in Hulme, in the vicinity of Castlefield Campus – a school for students with ‘social, emotional and mental health difficulties’.
Police are ‘assessing the situation’ and are as yet uncertain if the incident is linked to the Manchester arena bombing.
MORE ARRESTS AS MOTIVE EMERGES
The sister of the Manchester bomber has revealed he called his mother before detonating the explosive. She knows his motive.
Police today arrested two men in the Manchester area in connection with the deadly bombing of a pop concert, while a detained woman was released without charges.
The new arrests bring to eight the total number of men being held in the probe of the attack that killed 22 people.
The new arrests come after the sister of the Manchester suicide bomber has revealed he made a phone call to his mother just moments before detonating the nail-packed explosive.
And she believes she knows the brutal killer’s motive.
Jomana Abedi, 18, described her older brother Salman as kind and loving, and said she’s shocked that he detonated a bomb in the foyer of Manchester Arena at the end of an Ariana Grande pop concert on Monday.
However in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, she said she suspected his motive was driven by what he saw as Western injustices in the Middle East.
“I think he saw children—Muslim children—dying everywhere, and wanted revenge,” she told the newspaper.
“He saw the explosives America drops on children in Syria, and he wanted revenge. Whether he got that is between him and God.”
