Hashim Abedi, 20, was believed to be part of a terror cell in Tripoli thought to be in the late stages of building an explosive device.
Authorities believe Abedi’s group was targeting the Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Martin Kobler.
Hashim was arrested on Tuesday night at his family home in the Libyan capital on suspicion of links to terror group Islamic State, with his father Ramadan also being held.
Now top MI6 officers are believed to be cooperating with Libyan special forces to extract information about Salman’s UK terror network.
Rada, Libya’s top intelligence police unit, alleges the Abedi brothers had joined ISIS and Hashim had in-depth knowledge of his brother’s sick plot to kill children at the Manchester Arena.
A Rada spokesman told the Telegraph: “When we arrested and we asked him,” he told us, ‘I have ideology with my brother’.
