one brother was allegedly planning a terrorist attack in the libyan capital, tripoli.horities have confirmed they are investigating a network that supported the manchester attack. the u.k. raised its terror threat level to critical. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. stick around. y thanks for staying with us. >>> on a chinese national holiday in early april, many people leave early in the morning for a long trip. they travel out to the suburbs where they pay respect to their ancestors at this cemetery. it's

my who is in tripoli with the family.. it must be very difficult for the families of people who were here on monday night. it was a sell—out, 21,000 people in the concert hall. very difficult to come to terms with what happened close to where they were. how do we inform children about what happened? how do we explain the enormity of what has happened here. we have been to a school in manchester. good morning, everyone. has everyone heard the news? yeah. it is the start of the school day. and for these primary—school children in south manchester, there is a change to normal lessons. these 11—year—old pupils have been given the chance to talk about what happened at the manchester arena. all over the uk, teachers are trying to explain to their students what happened on monday night. many schools in manchester have been offered extra counselling to help children over the next few days. i would say to the parents, just be there. i was quite scared because, like, it would happen even more closer to us. i always speak to an adul

taken into custody in tripoli, libya this afternoon. a member of their team was there when it happened. it is unclear why he was taken into custody but the younger brother was also taken into custody. this coming from the libya interior ministry. they say he was 20 years old and that they have interviewed him. his name is hesham abedi. he traveled from manchester with six weeks ago. they say that he admitted to them that both he and his brother are, were, members of isis. and that he was part of preparation of the attack here in manchester, and they say he admitted to being in constant contact with his brother salman abedi in the weeks and days leading up to the attack in manchester. all of that, incredible detail coming out of the libyan ministry. meanwhile in manchester, the investigation proceeding at a fairly quick pace. five people are in custody and going back to the family ties, one of those is the older brother. he's been in custody about 24 hours. three others were taken into custody earlier today. and another person was arrest

father both arrested in tripoli —— salman abedi.mail front page. ——. they also have the picture of the younger brother in libby on the daily mirror —— jihadi. past experience shows not everything that you know two days afterwards about a family will turn out to be true. for example, it said here that the father and one of the brothers are is supporters. i think i heard another commentator saying today the father was thought to be more pro—al qaeda year because in libya al-qaeda have said about is that they are too brutal —— pro—al qaeda. i don't know if that's the case. i noted that in the times, the mail are saying this isa the times, the mail are saying this is a whole family and a whole network and we are fascinated by evil families, aren't we? the times say... evil families, aren't we? the times hey evil families, aren't we? the times say... they also say it was claimed salman abedi called his family 15 minutes before the attack in tripoli to say goodbye but friends of the family said his father had been so worried about radical

he is being held in tripoli. thank you, katrina renton.rea. they are collecting the foyer area. they are collecting the fragments. we've heard from frank gardener, al security correspondent, we think that salman abedi was only the mule. we now speak to a former counterterror officer who worked for the met police in the 7/7 bombings in 2005. there was work done on the bombs used in 2005. what did you learn from that and how may be similar to the event here in manchester? we learned in 2005 was that the explosive devices were used using fairly innocuous substances. they we re fairly innocuous substances. they were made out of hydrogen or oxide. we diagnose the component form of this bomb, and it's quite important that police find out what that is. we wa nt that police find out what that is. we want to find out where the items we re we want to find out where the items were purchased, the component parts, in order to move investigations forward. we will be looking at cctv at the places where these items were purchased. we need to understand th

the brother of the bomber is under arrest for planning his own attack in tripoli. back in the uk, five people are now in custody in connection with the bombing as police say they believe the bomber was part of a wider terrorist network. and all of this as we get word from u.s. officials that the attacker spent three weeks in libya, returning to england just days before he walked into that ariana grande concert surrounded by children and teenagers and debts nat detonated a suicide bomb. joining me right now is hala gorani. what can you tell us about the bomber's arrest? >> reporter: he's under arrest in libya. this is according to a militia that works with the interior for planning a terrorist attack in tripoli. his name is hashem abedi. he said that both were members of isis. this is coming to us from the militia. the militia said, as i mentioned, that he admitted that they planned these attacks and he was, in fact, the brother who is about 20 years old, according to the date of birth we've been given, was in manchester when salman abedi was planning the attack on

there's a libyan militia group in tripoli. libya is awash with militants since the regime change. they say it arrested the suspect's brother, under interrogation, suspect's brother admitted he was aware of the plot, in manchester helping his brother prepare the plot, that his brother phoned him 15 minutes before the attack took place. one of the criticisms of that kind of information, it was obtained under interrogation. in libya with many militia groups, it is unclear what that entailed. if it entailed torture or forced coercion, some of the information may not be considered reliable. one of the first things investigators in manchester want to do is to be able to speak to that person in libya who is currently, believed to be currently in custody now to get as much firsthand information as possible. >> meantime, this of course happened at the end of ariana grande concert, she did send out a tweet how broken she was. now she's had something else to say. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, that's right. if you remember right after the concert, ariana grande said that she was he

as major difficulties in policing tripoli and the country as a whole.nd european countries and the us are linking efforts to try to fight isis in libya. how easy is it for the uk government to get help from the government intra— bully? for the uk government to get help from the government intra— bullwm is going to be very difficult. he is supported by the international community but he has negligible presence intra— bully. it is mainly policed by right colours islamist movements spread islamic fighting group as part of. the fact that libya is unstable makes it harder for the us intelligence operations to communicate with intelligence operations in libya. this is that billy mosque where he and his family worshipped. you can see the family home is not far away. that home was raided on tuesday. this statement was made by the mosque on wednesday. some media reports have reported that the bomber worked at the manchester is linux centre. some media group ports have reported this. this is not true. i assure everyone, listeners, viewers in the uk, around the uk

associated press reports the father of suspected manchester bomber salmon abedi has been arrested in tripoli. a spokesman told the ap that the father of abedi was detained in aaa for interrogations. the father said his son was innocent and had been planning a trip to saudi arabia for a pilgrimage. a day after britain raised its terror threat level to critical, soldiers from the british army are providing additional security at the houses of parliament and downing street. security will also be stepped up at major public events and potential soft targets like railway stations and airports. the prime minister also ordered the military to guard landmarks and sporting events. president trump is spending the night in brussels after meeting with the belgian prime minister. a five-legnt is on journey through the middle east and europe as part of his first official overseas trip. he will attend his first nato summit tomorrow before continuing on to sicily for meetings with leaders of the g7. secretary of state rex tillerson says he expects the president to tell new tell members to step up and meet th

so about a month ago, he went back and brought them to tripoli, confiscated their passports to make suren't return to the united kingdom. but according to family, friends and also the special determent force, salman deceived his parents. he told them that he wanted to go and perform in the pilgrim e pilgrimage, took back his pa passport and left and went back to manchester. a spokesman for the determent force say they do not believe any planning or training took place in libya, that according to what the younger brother told them, that the planning has been taking place since the end of 2016. but you can expect about western intelligence agencies, british investigators will really be looking closely at his contribute to libya and possible previous trips to libya, who he may have met with, who he may have spoken to because libya remains a lawless country with so many different armed groups and many jihadist groups with some of them with ties to isis. >> well, hopefully they will find more people that perhaps were involved or inspired this. thank you so much. >>> still ahead this hour, doz

the brother of the bomber is under arrest for planning his own attack in tripoli.ow in custody in connection with the bombing as police say they believe the bomber was part of a wider terrorist network. and all of this as we get word from u.s. officials that the attacker spent three weeks in libya, returning to england just days before he walked into that ariana grande concert surrounded by children and

to tripoli around six weeks ago, but he is suspended of planning a terrorist act inside tripoli and libya as well. it's now being reported that this afternoon libyan time, the father of these two brothers was arrested, too. what he was arrested for is not yet clear, but of course, earlier this week the elder brother was arrested right here in manchester, england. so a great deal of the focus of this investigation is now on the people around him, the people closest to him, and whether they knew that this attack was being planned and was about to take place, katy. >> talk to me about the raids that are ongoing. what more are they looking for and have they found any other bomb-making materials in homes? have you been able to assess that out from investigators yet? >> reporter: well, there's no sign of any discoveries of bomb-making equipment yet, but that is certainly what they're looking for. they consider it to be unlikely that this bomber was acting on his own given the complexity of the device. and with that in mind, five arrests so far have been made here in the u.k., one just this afte

we're learning the younger brother of abedi was arrested by libyan authorities in tripoli on suspicion of links to isis. it turns out he was under surveillance for a month and a half, but the counterterrorism forces there moved in on him over intelligence he was planning an attack in tripoli, libya's main city. the investigation here has two focal points at this point. one is, as you mentionsed, unraveling any network that may have supported the manchester bomber in carrying out this attack. the other, that means combing through information here and manchester as well as libya. the other is uncovering, locating, trying to locate the potential bomb-making factory. this could be as simple as a corner in somebody's kitchen, but finding that location is critical to understanding the scale and scope of this thing. perhaps, more importantly, to understanding whether there may be other bombs out there. now, those "new york times" photographs you mentioned, very important piece of information. they reveal a far more sophisticated device than we previously thought. the battery charger was large

both younger brother and his father were arrested by counterterror forces in tripoli, libya, and apparentt said not only was the brother aware of plans for the manchester bombing but was planning his own attack in tripoli. man chess it police say the raids are not over. that they feel there is entire network here. that a controlled explosion was used in a particular raid in the city. they are assisting the security as soldiers and law enforcement officials has been stepped up. fox news's rick leventhal in manchester on the ground a you have news of the investigation and a confession. reporter: liz, we'll get into details what we know. they quickly identify the bomber as salman a beddy, borne and raised very close to the arena where the explosion took place but his parent are from libya. his father lives there now. we learned according to man chess it police they arrested the older brother in manchester today. from libyan authorities they did in fact arrest his younger brother and their father for interrogation. they're both alleged ties to al qaeda and to isis. now from the dow jones wire

alongside two men in libya and tripoli. the two men and libya being the father of the bomber and also one of his brothers. another brother has been arrested in the u.k.. most of the investigation took place yesterday, there were a lot of arrest yesterday. what has been interesting today, the mayor of manchester have been extremely upset about the fact that the american security e -- leaked information to the "new york times." there were photos published where basically the families haven't even visited the site. it has upset them as well. it is a diplomatic incident, one that has escalated to the prime minister of britain, theresa may , raised the issue with donald trump in brussels today. it is understood that britain is not going to tolerate these kinds of leaks of information, and indeed the manchester police leading the investigation have said that they have cut off information sharing with u.s. authorities for the time being. >> all right. as we just heard, more of the victims are being identified publicly today, and m

it's understood he'd recently left manchester for tripoli in libya, returning to the uk, four days before istanbul and dusseldorf airports. police think in the hours before the bombing he may have been at a property in granby row near piccadilly railway station and a short distance from the manchester arena where the bomb exploded. somewhere near here he'd phoned his mother and said "forgive me", according to a libyan anti—terrorism official. but who else did he talk to? where else had abedi been? forensics, cctv, traffic cameras, interviews every conceivable method for tracking abedi's movements is being pursued. we've been overwhelmed with support from members of the public and i'd ask for patience to continue from our local communities here in greater manchester as we carry out those searches and this investigation. there are nagging questions, though. abedi was known to security services. there had been warnings about his radicalisation. why wasn't he stopped before he carried out his murderous attack? since 2013, 18 plots have been thwarted, five since the westminster attack in march

we received a report from reuters a few moments ago, another brother taken into custody in tripoli. these developments are coming in as the hunt still on for a possible bomb-maker as well. this is really widening. when we heard from the prime minister theresa may, her message was clear the threat is broader than just one man, the now dead suicide bomber. >> we can not ignore that there is a wider group of individuals linked to this attack. the threat level should be increased for the time-being from severe to critical. this means that that their assessment is not only an attack remains highly likely, but a further attack may be imminent. reporter: so what british first have done they have deployed nearly 1000 troops at high-profile sites around the country. soldiers replacing police officers at places like buckingham palace, 10 downing street and british parliament. we know of a isis claim of responsibility. we know the bomber was identified as salman abedi, british born. two brothers in custody. abedi believed to travel himself to syria. the french say there are proven links betwee

and wasck in tripoli also arrested.are seeing clear signs of the investigation going international as far as authorities are digging deeper into likely a network of people supporting this terrorist attack. david: crumpton mentioned the risk level has been raised. what does it mean in practical terms? veryfraher: it is dramatic. we are seeing soldiers patrol that most people have never really sing. visitors to brussels and paris, it would be a common sight. -- that most people have never really sing. -- that most people have never really seen, how heightened it is area clearly, when we saw the news last night that the terror level, a clear signal that british authorities saw it as more than, the prime minister said preeminent threat. there are -- tensions are running high. the government is concerned. david: the growing international aspect, it brings up the issue of surveillance intelligence sharing. how does that stand to change as the brexit process unfolds and a complete brexit? way thel remain by the u.k. gets and g

brother of the suicide bomber was arrested in libya, accused of plotting a separate terrorist attack in tripolihe says he and his brother were members of isis according to militia in that country. cnn's clarissa ward has our story. >> reporter: investigators say they do not believe the 22-year-old british bomber salman abedi who blew himself up outside this concert hall monday killing 22 acted alone. >> i think it is very clear that this is a network that we are investigating. >> reporter: abedi's brother was reportedly detain by a militia in libya which alleges he was plotting to launch his own terror attack in tripoli. the militia claims hashim abedi told them he and hi brother were part of isis. sources tell cnn salman abedi had been in syria for several weeseveral -- for several weeks in libya. police say he was known to both british and u.s. intelligence officials and investigators are now trying to piece together whether abedi met with isis oral qaeda operatives or received terror training while abroad. they also want the know who he was in contact with here in england. police continue to

hashim was planning an attack in tripoli, they are holding him in the belief that he had links to the. the journey taken by salman here was a regular trip. his parents left libya as part of an exodus during the time of one gaddafi. gaddafi has said it was extremists who were fleeing here. that is not the whole story, another exodus happened in libya after 2011, when gaddafi was ousted. but exodus was thousands of libyan fighters heading towards the rear. they had ta ken fighters heading towards the rear. they had taken the skills they had learned in the battle against gaddafi and hold them further in syria. then they returned here to libya with those sharp and skills and set up a base for islamic state and set up a base for islamic state and syria within this country. western governments do not have a presence inside libya. they closed all of their embassies, making it much more difficult for western intelligence agencies to have a presence and to gather information on the likes of the abedis and others who might have links to extremist groups in syria, iraq, in libya and in europe. t

in libya, a local militia in tripoli saying they've arrested the younger brother of the suspected bomber20 years old. they said he had links to isis. they also believe that he was planning a separate terrorist attack that, again, according to a local militia, has not been corroborated by libyan authorities. meanwhile, back here in the united kingdom, an uproar about leaks coming from the united states. "the new york times" publishing photos, crime scene evidence which included pieces of a backpack, batteries, as well as shrapnel believed to be from the bomb. uk authorities are incredibly angry at a number of leaks coming from the united states, and british media is reporting that prime minister theresa may plans to confront u.s. president donald trump at the nato summit today about these leaks. meanwhile, we are learning more about the victims killed in this attack, some 22 victims, many of those victims children, including 14-year-old ellie mccloyd. some 20 victims are in critical condition. alison? >> our hearts certainly go out to those families, and those leaks stunning when you see

that happened in tripoli. the bomb used to kill 22 people was sophisticated and meaning that the attack is likely tied to a broader terror cell. monday's attack has britain alert level at critical. in the u.s. there is no raised threat level. law enforcement say they will be diligent. stephen tschida joins us from the national mall where the diligence is on display. heading to the memorial day weekend there is some concern out stephen: quite a bit of concern. you can see the stage back there. it will be a lot of people on the national mall. many of them mindful of the critical terror alert in england and concerned about what the situation is here. in the nation's capital. vicious terror attack has england on high alert. >> especially when they target children. it's scary. >> the bombing has some here in d.c. frightened. >> anything can happen. you never know who has a back pack with explosive. we can't tell. stephen: there is a strong police presence but nothing out of the ordinary. the department of homeland

and one of the brothers, in tripoli being arrested. according to a militia working for the libyan authorities saying they interrogated the brother and they say he confessed that both brothers plo s belonged to isis. these are the pieces of the puzzle that are being put together. we have no confirmation from british authorities about the libya connection, that's friends who have been talking to cnn and other reporters and militias there who have arrested the two who i mentioned. >> i want to bring in our intelligence and security analyst and former cia officer bob baer, you saw those pictures of what are believed by the "new york times" to be pieces and fragments from the device itself. what does that tell you about the level of sophistication or lack thereof? >> it's very sophisticated. it had a circuit board, probably multiple detonators. maybe a booster charge. it's very unlikely this 22-year-old made that bomb. he probably had some help, or an enormous amount of training. these bombs are fairly simple. but this one looks sophisticat

the militia alleging he had ties to isis and was planning an attack in tripoli.so hearing of more victims coming forward, families releasing statements, including the family of 14-year-old ellie mccloud, killed in the attack. her family leasing her photo saying she loved music, they're absolutely devastated at this huge loss. >> we're learning 11:00 your time, 6:00 a.m. here eastern time, in new york, a national moment of silence to remember the victims of the terror attack there. erin live for us in manchester, thank you. >>> president obama speaking right now with german chancellor angela merkel at the brandenburg gate. we'll go there live next. sugar, we're letting you go. what? who's replacing me? splenda naturals? look, she's sweet, she's got natural stevia, no bitter aftertaste and she's calorie-free. so that's it? we made you a cake. with sugar? oh, no.

that's in the context where we've also had arrests in tripoli, the capital of libya, the father of the perpetrator was arrested there and the younger brother, around 20 years old. so a large part of this family now in custody, both here in the u.k. and in libya. the police are very much working on the assumption that the perpetrator was not working by himself. the likelihood is that he had significant help from other sources, including quite , and thered a third have been photographs that have been leaked to the new york times would seem to indicate this was a quite sophisticated device that included potentially a remote trigger. the device appeared a being held in a backpack on the perpetrators back and also a 12 that bombry charging device. so a lot of investigations carrying on both here and in libya and elsewhere. there have been reports that the perpetrator had spent time in syria recently. so three countries at least are involved in terms of the on the ground investigation. laura: just looking behind you i can see up see of flowers, a lot of people down there to pay their respect

also, two brothers arrested, one in tripoli. another in the alley filled area of manchester. we've heard in the last hour that salman abedi's father has been spoken to. a man was found carrying a package which police apparently assessing and the uk terrorist threat level has been raised to critical. after four or five days, we will be in a position to name the victims after formal identification. we spoken to all of the families of those who have lain injured in our hospitals and we are doing all we can to support them too. we know that salman abedi's family moved to manchester from libya. there were two important arrests here in the search for salman abedi's brothers. two of them were picked up with help from uk authorities. we know that salman abeditravel to this country regularly. after the libyan revolution that overthrew qaddafi, many libyans joined the revolution that overthrew qaddafi, many libyansjoined the islamic state, in fact they formed one of the first foreign fighting brigades, one of the most effective. it helped isis capture the de facto capital, raqqa. fight

that unwelcome intervention was by the libyan coast guard, taking the 300 migrants back to tripoli, and brushed off accusations that it had a legally repatriated them while the boat was in international waters. >> we were trying to assist in the search-and-rescue, it was in our territorial waters. in such rescue operations, the libyan coast guard has priority. >> the international organization for migration says 20,000 libyans are currently being held. i left the war in syria and went to libya, which was also a war. i'm now trying to go to europe to join my children. >> after the closure of the migrant routes through turkey and greece, libby has become the key departure point for those hoping to cross to europe by sea. last year, newly 200,000 people made the deadly journey. people were injured and a 27-year-old man was killed in an other violent day of clashes in venezuela. a group of armed pro-government militiamen harassed protesters as they march to the capital. protesters say the president socialist government has become a dictatorship responsible for triple digit inflation, rising

he was born in manchester in 1994 of libyan parents from tripoli.rsity and was already known to security services. in fact, the individual i spoke to yesterday who was a very close friend of the family, described him as a nieve individual. it would indicate he could not have put the explosive belt on. he must have had support helping him do that. meanwhile, the search for clues continues. forensic, digital and testimonies from witnesses and suspects. this, say the police, is a fast moving, wide—ranging investigation. raids all around manchester in the last two days. let's bring frank in for us. he's in our london studio. frank there is one raid on going in the business district of manchester. it's different to the other properties that have been searched. it is in the heart of the business district whereas the others have beenin district whereas the others have been in the south. so this is slightly different. what do you make of it? sorry, i'm in london. i have no idea what that means at all. i'm following the investigation internationally so we ar

arrested abedi's brother yesterday and today libyan officials said another brother was picked up in tripoli for allegedly planning an isis attack there. isis claimed responsibility for monday's attack and there appear to be isis links. abedi's acquaintances say he was friends with a man named raphael hostey, listed in documents obtained and verified by nbc news a year ago. he was reportedly killed in syria. now the search at for accomplices still at large. at least five arrests today in multiple raids in the manchester area. in one security force in an apartment used as an air bnb. and there's high turnover in this air bnb? >> yes. yes. >> reporter: how often would you say? >> could be every three or four different groups a week sometimes. >> reporter: british authorities are taking no chances, putting troops on the street. cancelling the ever popular changing of the guard at buckingham palace and beefing up security at st. paul's cathedral where the queen attended a service. her nation on its highest state of alert in a decade. u.s. and british officials believe abedi had help making the b

authorities, they moved in over intelligence he may have been planning an attack in libya's city tripoli. he. the father was arrested over links to isis. he spoke denying any link to militant groups so we'll be waiting to see what kind of intel comes out of that. another brother of the attacker is in custody here at the moment so the authorities are trying to place together a picture of -- a bigger picture what kind of influences this young man might have had, what could have led this 22-year-old to choose to commit such an act of carnage. another significant development, "the new york times" publishing photographs of the explosives used by the suicide bomber, this came from leaked information by american officials from the britts, apparently we're now learning from the bbc the british authorities will not be sharing information with the americans over this investigation because of those leaks but those photographs reveal a high level of sophistication in that bomb, there was a hand detonator. it wasn't simple. that means there could be a more experienced bomb maker out there. that's the
