Add Manchester as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Manchester news, video, and analysis from ABC News. The review by lawyer David Anderson, ordered by Home Secretary Amber Rudd, said the May 22 attack that killed 22 people might have been thwarted "had the cards fallen differently." The reports says Manchester bomber Salman Abedi wasn't being actively investigated when he detonated a suicide device, although he had been scrutinized in the past as a "subject of interest." But Anderson says MI5 obtained intelligence in the months before the attack that might have led to an active investigation of Abedi "had its true significance been properly understood." "In retrospect, the intelligence can be seen to have been highly relevant to the planned attack," Anderson said.
