Police now saying that they are dealing with a possible terrorist incident.

Seems really quite likely just now

Any word on a COBRA meeting yet?

Correct. Terrorism. Radical Islamic. ( ISIS.) All the hallmarks.

You forget other instances of terrorism not by ISIS. And not all the hallmarks of ISIS anyway because they use various methods.

Late to the thread and only saw the news scroll on the TV while at the local hotdog shop a little bit a go.

Can someone give me a current update on what we know so I don't have to read the entire thread?

Thanks in advance.

Explosion at a concert, some reports of 20 dead, early days but looking like terrorism. I would bet 10 000 pounds it is NOT Irish Republicans.

If that is true, Valhalla worthy. I hope a lot of us and the media can focus on acts of heroism for fellow man in these instances...

And to think he/she has a life with a family, working to provide for his/her family, not harming anyone, again RIP to those who prevent these acts and not instigate them

Skyy just said 19 dead

It was likely a nail bomb in the foyer. They think security foiled an attempt to enter the concert, but it looks like the bomber still hit people coming out. They are saying 20+ dead and that's early, so you know it will be bad.

What leads us to think it may be a nail bomb?

I hope the reports are exaggerated. That's a lot of lost brothers and sisters.

The nail bomb speculation is currently only from The Sun newspaper at the moment, I believe. The Sun is a tabloid.

Sky News are reporting 19 dead at this stage.

Agreed, but this is not IRA style attack. I have been there, done that.

This is not that.

Totally agree

I think its going to have been a attack that has some Islamic routes.

All i am saying is that i am going to keep a open mind, I always keep in mind the 2011 Norway attack when something like this comes up.

The best way to stop these attacks is to kill members of the terrorist's families. Harsh...but it's the only thing they care about.

That's one way of creating more terrorists, as revenge only creates more revenge.

It's called DETERRENCE. Nothing short of that will work. ISIS is too spread out to mass bomb and target bomb them all. USA has been doing that for years now.

Thank you.

the foyer is highly glazed and that could have lead to further seriuos injuries there has been no reports I have heard of the type of bomb yet

The Sun is reporting on flying nuts, bolts and nails from people who were there. Might not be a nail bomb, but there was a lot of flying shrapnel and debris from something.

Police confirm at least 19 people dead and a terrorist incident.

Doing something about it is what honor's them, silence is what you give them when that is all that they have now.

Your post isn't 'doing' anything. Sometimes it's best to wait for more information. Fact is, whoever is responsible is evil. No need for flippant memes.

And we can see how it has worked all these years, right?

Manchester police: 19 dead, at least 50 injured.

Who benefits from such a cowardly attack ?

Terrorists.

I doubt it .

Then please tell me in all your knowledge, who would do such a thing? You really think this is a random but job? The IRA? Or maybe just maybe, it's a terrorist attack.

Hospitals are accepting folks with shrapnel type injuries.

Then first hand reports of limbs getting blown off and lots of blood.

Thank you, as well.

You're right. Just a "gut feeling".

So sad.

to think that you take your kids out for a treat to see a gig and some cowardly scum does this because of some warped beliefs.
