Police have not revealed where Abedi was filmed, but it is believed he was in a lift on his way to the ticketing area of ​​the Manchester Arena.

British officials were angered by the US government's leak of images of the bombing scene to the press, which they argued would hamper the hunt for the suspects. The sharing of information about the Manchester bombing was subsequently halted.

Abedi, 22, is of Libyan descent but was born in Britain. After the bombing that killed 22 people in Manchester, police arrested 11 people in Britain in connection with the incident. Meanwhile, Libyan police also arrested Abedi's father and brother.

A bomb exploded at the end of a concert by American singer Ariana Grande on May 22, as the audience was leaving. Twenty-two people were killed, including seven children, and dozens were injured.

In another development, on the same day, May 27, British Prime Minister Theresa May lowered the terror warning level from "critical" to "severe" and soldiers will gradually withdraw from the streets to return to their normal positions.
