MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Britain has arrested a “large part” of the network behind Manchester’s suicide bomb attack, police said Friday, while the government came under fire for cutting police budgets as election campaigning resumed. Following Monday’s attack in which 116 people were also injured, May and Corbyn suspended campaigning for a snap June 8 election. Britain’s terror threat assessment has been hiked to “critical”, the highest level, meaning an attack is considered imminent. The issue of security, which was not widely discussed in the general election campaign before the attack, is now expected to feature highly. Tattoo artists in Manchester have reported a rush of people seeking inkings of worker bees, a longstanding symbol of the industrious city.
