Britain’s top counterterrorism police officer, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, said in a statement Friday that police have made “significant arrests and finds” in the investigation of the attack, claiming they had gotten “hold of a large part” of an alleged network of Abedi’s.
“We are focusing on understanding Abedi’s life; forensically examining a number of scenes; reviewing hours of CCTV from the night itself and the hours before; financial work; communication; digital exhibits; the accounts from hundreds of witnesses; and, of course, enquiries internationally,” Rowley said in the statement.
