The father and brother of Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi have been arrested in Tripoli, Libya Tuesday and Wednesday by the Libyan counter-terrorism force Rada. The two are suspected of having ties to ISIS, and intelligence suggested that they were planning an attack on the Libyan capital, per Reuters.
Abedi’s brother, Hashem Abedi was arrested Tuesday in Tripoli, while his father Ramadan Abedi was arrested the next day outside of his home in the Tripoli suburb of Ayn Zara while giving a TV interviews to the media.
Ramadan Abedi told Bloomberg: “I was really shocked when I saw the news, I still don’t believe it.
Hashem, who traveled from London to Tripoli on April 16th, had been in contact with his brother and had allegedly discussed acts of terrorism in the name of the Islamic State.
“We have evidence that he is involved in Daesh (Islamic State) with his brother. We have been following him for more than one month and a half,” Bin Salem said. “He was in contact with his brother and he knew about the attack.” –Reuters
In a statement, the Libyan counterterrorism force said Hashem Abedi admitted to having links with the Islamic State as well as being in the UK when the Manchester attack was planned.

A family of bombers. That’s nice. Sorta like a nice traditional, muslim family pastime to promote their religion of peace, Islam. Cool.
What enabled them, and infuriated them has been the internet. What was formally invisisble to them, Western living standards, has been layed out plain and simple. Between cell phones and internet the gap between haves and have nots has been totally revealed. Hopefully the same technology that enabled this carnage can somehow back it down when it is so needed.
Horseshit. Everyone has a fucking cell phone. Pray to Allah much soupbonehead? Wake the fuck up.
No as a matter of fact I don’t have a cell phone. Nor a watch. What then has changed that brings forth all this terrorism as in ISIS? Internet cafe’s all thru EU, have you been in one? All Muslims. They hang with their past too much as a result.
@soupbone, it was not the internet and/or phones that enabled Islamic terrorism. It was the traitorous, zionist filth in our governments that is behind Islamic terrorists. ISIS is the creature of Mossad/CIA and these “intelligence agencies” control ISIS. Evidence emerges daily that ISIS is funded and controlled by the CIA and the Mossad. The Israelis have even stated they don’t want to see ISIS defeated which means Mossad is complicit in the wanton terror afflicting the West as well as all other heinous atrocities by ISIS. No one wants to see the contradiction.
Terror is conducive to empowering the government to implement martial laws and tyranny, to take our freedoms away under false pretenses. The Christian and Muslim goyim must fight each other and not notice the puppet masters. At the same time as they promote Islam as a bogeyman, the zionist filth imports millions of Muslim migrants, increasing the pressure to explosion.
The same damn libtards who try to justify these attacks due to the ‘oppressive West not giving them jobs’ and ‘making them angry because they’re dirt poor and we’re not’, are the same idiots who claim it’s a religion of peace. Well, which is it? Are they a peaceful people, or do we need to constantly walk on eggshells so as to not insult their religion by being capitalistic Westerners.
@soup They have been imported from third world shitholes that always raped and killed one another. Religion based on Convert or Die. Muslims work great when only Muslims live in the area. Or they are a tiny minority surrounded by awake people. That do not put up with the cult. They cut little girls then stick them in fucking trash bags. And you blame the cellphones!?! Wake up.
Certainly I am biased because I have shared housing with several mid-east people and found no issue with them. I frequently eat mid-east food when in a city. On the other hand your points are well taken SAC and Bird, there is more to the story.
“In a statement, the Libyan counterterrorism force said Hashem Abedi admitted to having links with the Islamic State as well as being in the UK when the Manchester attack was planned.”
O would have enjoyed being there while that confession was “prompted”… for lack of a better term. lol
Lets say. For Fake News sake. There were 1.5 billion cannibals on Earth. So we must welcome that monstrosity with limp cock and no balls into our homelands for diversity. After all banksters need clients. Loans loans loans. When our children are burned alive and eaten like veal. We hold peace vigils with candles and flowers and Communists.
ISIS drop off their wounded at the Israeli border – they get patched up and sent back to fight.
