Police dealing with a “serious incident” in Manchester have confirmed a “number of fatalities”amid unconfirmed reports of an explosion.

Officers said that yet more people were also injured in the incident and warned people to stay away from Manchester Arena while they dealt with the issue. Officers did not release any further details on what has happened. A concert by the American pop singer Ariana Grande was being staged at the time.

Hannah Dane, who was at the concert, told the Guardian there was “quite a loud explosion heard from inside the Manchester arena and it shook, then everyone screamed and tried to get out”.

Hope all yours are OK, John.

Of course I doubt they would be at an Ariana Grande show....

Thanks, Mik. I can't really see my brother going there, either.

This bomb looks to be only about 5 minutes away from the huge one that went off in the 90's.

Thanks - I'm sure they're OK, but it is pretty scary when you see this happen to places you've lived. I was visiting over near there just last week.

Just. Horrible.

Apparently, many of the killed were teenaged girls.

It's just dreadful.

They're in the final stages of the election campaign, but I get the feeling this has nothing to do with that - most likely just a terrorist wanting to kill lots of innocent people as easily possible.

Yes, it's utterly dreadful. Just kids having fun, and they became targets. :(

God help us if Worcestershire is targeted.


I think about this type of attack, and it just leaves me at a loss. What do they hope to achieve?

That's about as bad as it gets.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I've wondered the same.

At some point, someone had to determine, "we won't bomb there, we should bomb THERE" -- where there are thousands of teenage girls.

If this was actually a war, you'd think they'd target English Defence League marches or something. All this kind of thing does is destroy lives, and ratchet up the anti-Muslim feeling in the rest of the population. There's a noticeable increase in anti-muslim violence every time something like this happens, and anti-Asian feeling in general, as Hindus and Sikhs tend to get lumped in along with them.

I guess, according to Steve Miller's logic, the crowd had failed to show the bomber the proper respect, and had not earned the right to attend a concert in safety.....

Seems like kind of a stretch, even for you.

Whatever. We all make allowances.

Well c'mon, Klaus, we haven't yet confirmed it, but oh hey, wouldn't it be so great if the guy was Muslim?? Wouldn't that just be awesome! I mean, if the assailants weren't Muslim, like Robert Dear, Dylann Roof, and 94% of the acts of terrorism here in America, that would be a drag. But hey if they were...Then, for at least a few days, I'm justified in my sectarian prejudice! No one could call me out, because, you know, the tragedy thing!

I'm really hoping the guy's a Muslim.
I cite irreconcilable differences.
