The heartless killer’s younger brother Hashem Abedi was arrested in the Libyan capital of Tripoli last night, while father Ramadam has also been detained today.
Hashem was arrested on suspicion of links with Islamic State, a spokesman for a local counter-terrorism force revealed.
Police claim he had prior knowledge of the attack and said he may have been planning his own atrocity.
The Libyan security force, known as Rada, detained Hashem Abedi, who was born in 1997, on Tuesday evening, spokesman Ahmed Bin Salem said.
Pictures on social media show the youth wielding a huge weapon while dressed in a Nike top.
The father was seized by masked gunman while giving a TV interview.
A third brother has also been arrested after police raids in the UK.
Earlier today the Abedi brothers’ father spoke from Libya, where he said his son was innocent.
He said: “We don’t believe in killing innocents. This is not us.”
