An imam at the Manchester Arena bomber's mosque "called for jihad" 10 days before the attacker bought his ticket.

A recording that has been found purporting to be of an imam at the mosque attended by Salman Abedi, the Manchester arena bomber, has been interpreted by scholars.

The sermon, apparently delivered at Didsbury Mosque in Manchester, was delivered on the 16th December 2016, six months before Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb killing 22 at an Ariana Grande concert in the city.

Manchester bomber Salman Abedi and his family regularly attended the mosque and his father sometimes led the call to prayer. Imam, Mustafa Graf, appears to call for military or armed jihad in the recording obtained by BBC News.

It is unclear whether Abedi – or any family members - attended the mosque on the day of the audio recording, but he is thought to have bought a ticket for the Ariana Grande concert 10 days later.
