The suicide bomber who brought carnage to the Manchester Arena has been named as Salman Abedi.
Police confirmed his name after armed officers carried out a dramatic raid on the redbrick semi in south Manchester where the 22-year-old was registered as living.
Greater Manchester Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said detectives were working to establish whether Abedi, whose attack left 22 people dead, including an eight-year-old girl, was working alone.
He said: "I can confirm that the man suspected of carrying out last night's atrocity has been named as 22-year-old Salman Abedi.
"However, he has not yet been formally identified and I wouldn't wish, therefore, to comment further.
