Abedi lived in a house just 3.5 miles from the arena, where he detonated a homemade bomb in a public concourse around 10.30 pm on Monday. It was not immediately clear whether or how that man was connected to the attack. "The explosion coincided with the conclusion of a pop concert, which was attended by many young families and groups of children," she added. "The attack came in the final stretch of campaigning before a general election in Britain on June 8, and the country's political parties agreed to suspend campaigning on Tuesday. "The priority remains to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network," Hopkins said.
