A 19-year-old man has been arrested at Liverpool John Lennon Airport in connection with the Manchester Arena bombing.

He was held on suspicion of offences contrary to the Terrorism Act and remains in custody, said Greater Manchester Police.

It is understood he was on an inbound flight to the UK.

A property on Thelwall Avenue in the Fallowfield area of Manchester is being searched in connection with the arrest.

Police forensics teams were seen taking photos inside the property and of the contents of the bins outside.


A man and a woman, who covered their faces, were taken away in an unmarked police car.

Neighbours said a Libyan family lived at the address.

Twenty-three people have now been arrested over the 22 May suicide bombing - two were quickly de-arrested and 20 others were released without charge.

Salman Abedi's attack killed 22 people as crowds streamed out of an Ariana Grande concert.

Police said earlier this week that they still want to speak to Abedi's brother and that they believe "other people" may have been involved.

Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson said he did not believe it was a "large network" that was involved in the bombing.

"We don't have evidence that there were other suicide bombers, we do suspect others were aware or complicit in their knowledge of the attack," he said.

"We do believe there may be other arrests in the future."

Three million files and 16,000 hours of CCTV have been collected as police have sought to detail Abedi's movements in the days and weeks before the attack, and establish any terrorist connections he may have had.
