Salman Abedi, best known as the Ariana Grande suicide bomber, killed 22 people at the Manchester concert last May, was rescued by the Royal Navy from Libyan war zone, brought to Britain
He and his brother were known to the UK security services, which monitored him at the time of his trip to war-ravaged Libya.
HMS Enterprise evacuated Salman, then aged 19, and his younger brother, Hashem, from the Libyan coast and took them to Malta for a flight home to Britain in August 2014.
A Whitehall source said: ‘For this man to have committed such an atrocity on UK soil after we rescued him from Libya was an act of utter betrayal.’
Salman’s younger brother is in jail in Tripoli to be tried over his part in the Manchester attack. He is alleged to have helped buy the materials for the Manchester bomb.
Abedi was known to security services and he was being monitored when he went to Libya, MI5 closing his case one month prior to his rescue as a case of mistaken identity. He and his 21-year-old brother are the British-born sons of Libyan migrants, Ramadan and Samia.
Security officials emphasised that their belief is that his radicalisation occurred by being brainwashed watching terrorism videos online, and that he wasn’t at the time of his rescue in 2014.
