anything on the woman this morning who was interviewed on skynews.
she said she was near a woman who was acting weird and jumpy, and then disappeared before the bomb went off

Sticking a pipe bomb in a locker and creating a vest to wear and detonate are two totally different things. Yes, if you want, you can create pipe bombs but it is the delivery mechanism that counts.
This was a suicide bombing which to me cranks it up a notch. You can leave a package...or a backpack....or throw a pipe bomb but deciding to strap explosives to yourself to give yourself up for your god is, well, a different ballgame all together.

I saw that....not heard anything more on that, however when Sky News re-ran that clip this evening of her talking about that, they totally cut out the part where she talked about the aggitated woman with the bag. Found that quite weird.
If that incident did actualy happen, firstly it will be on camera (especially as she reckons both herself and her daughter spoke to security about the shifty looking woman..and secondly i'd imagine the security services would be talking to her very quickly.
CX.[/qlike you said its been completely omitted, does make me wonder, i did wonder perhaps this mystery woman with a bag was an accomplice, especially as the police are begging people for dash cam videos fro the time around the bombing

Did I say anything of the sort ?
Nice knee jerk reaction and twisting of the message though, bet you think you're smart with your convoluted sarcasm that only enforces my point that most humans are f*cking sh!t and incapable of logical thought.

Peeps need to recognize the truth. Islam is trying to take over Christianity. All this get along, kumbaya, safe space, poor me crap has Islamists licking their chops as it screams weakness. Just remember that the pendulum never stops, and if it is allowed to keep on swinging, then your grand kids will be ruled by this dark age "religion". The West has no use for Islam and it should be treated like a cult. I m a bit peeved at Trump for kissing Saudi's ass. They export more terror than oil.

If this is ISIS as it seems to be...
Do people still think it is worth arming Isis in Syria to get rid of Assad?
Is it still a bad idea to work with the Russians to defeat radical Islamic terrorists?

That hate is not the answer
Arsonists target Manchester mosque hours after terror attack
And that Islam is not to blame, extremist views are what are to blamed and unfortunately it is not something I think we as a species will ever fix because we will always find a reason to kill one another.
It's nothing more than primitive tribal behaviour, just because they say they're doing in the name of a God doesn't mean we should be blaming the entire religion.
Like I said there's billions of Muslims, what % of them actually go around murdering ? Yet we should hate all Muslims ?
It all seems highly illogical, just like the reaction of shock and horror when suddenly death is on your doorstep, because nobody gives a flying f*ck what's happening in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine where people are being killed daily and whole countries are in ruin at the hands of those we've entrusted with power.
Direct your hatred to those responsible, not innocent bystanders who's only affiliation is they happen to share the same religion, because hating on those innocents will only lead to more hatred and more death and more destruction.

Here you go.....full description of the incident with the woman she thought suspicious enough to report.

Edit to add: The full details are in the written article there, they appear to cut the video short after she says they informed security.

No.
If it were that easy most suicide bombers would kill far more, as this one did. 20+ dead and 50+ injured isn't something any old schmuck can make. And if they could, we'd have bombings like this far more frequently.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned but the bomber's ID was found at the scene.
I hate to say this but isn't the first rule of crime, "Leave you're ID at home when you go out to break the law."

If you are arrested for some reason before you actually set your suicide bomb off, the friends who helped you pack all the nuts and bolts and checked to see if you looked "passable" and not like a mad bomber, might then have a chance to split before the police start rounding up everybody.
Another ID emerges from "ground zero"?!?!?
Riiight.
