Military standing down in Manchester
Print Edition
BRITAIN’S Ministry of Defense announced an end to its week-long deployment to help police cope with an increased threat of an extremist attack after the Manchester concert bombing.
Chief of the Defense Staff Stuart Peach said yesterday almost 1,000 military personnel had been deployed to help police as the terrorist threat was raised to “critical” after the attack killed 22 people and injured dozens more. The official threat level has been lowered from “critical” the highest level, meaning an attack may be imminent to “severe,” which means the an attack is highly likely.
The end of the military role came after Manchester Police said they had released a man who was arrested in the concert bombing investigation without charging him. Police said the 21-year-old was set free on Wednesday night. His name was not released.
Ten men are still being questioned in custody about their roles in the blast. All were arrested on suspicion of violating the Terrorism Act. They have not been identified or charged. Six people, including a woman, have been released without being charged.
