Counter-terror police made a fresh arrest in connection to the Manchester suicide bombing yesterday as Home Secretary Amber Rudd warned that other members of Salman Abedi’s terror network could still be at large.

Greater Manchester Police said a 25-year-old man had been detained on suspicion of terror offences in the Old Trafford area. A search was also being carried out an address in Moss Side, in the south of the city, as part of the investigat­ion.

Twelve people are now being held in custody after the atrocity at the Manchester Arena left 22 dead.

Images posted on social media showed armed officers in the Moss Side neighbourh­ood amid reports of an explosion.

“There’s a group of them knocking about with each other – they’re from the Middle East. A couple of them dress in the traditiona­l Muslim robes”
