A suspect terror attack at Manchester Arena killed 19 people and injured 59 from among those who had gathered for an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, Monday, May 22, 2017.
If the incident is confirmed as a terrorist attack it would be the deadliest in Britain since four suicide bombers killed 52 London commuters on three subway trains and a bus in July 2005. (Photo: AP)
Grande, who was due to give a concert in London later on Tuesday, said she was \"broken\" in a tweet. \"Broken. From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry. I don't have words,\" she wrote. (Photo: AP)
Prior to the incident yesterday evening, an unverified Twitter account posted cryptic Tweets showing the ISIS black flag alongside the hashtags #IslamicState and #Manchesterarena. It was unclear early today what if any significance these Tweets carried. (Photo: AP)
There was panic as Grande's audience of youthful fans fled the 21,000-capacity venue late on Monday after what eyewitnesses described as an explosion in the foyer area at the end of the concert. (Photo: Videograb)
In Manchester, residents tweeted with the hashtag #RoomforManchester to offer a place to stay and there were reports of taxis taking passengers for free. (Photo: AP)
