May 22 2017 By Abiodun Giwa
3 more deaths have been added to the death toll at the Manchester terror attack, bringing the the death toll to 22.
An 8 year old girl has been listed among the dead from the attack at the end of a concert on Monday. About 50 people were reported injured.
Police say the incidence is being treated as a terrorist attack.
According to reports in the New York Times and the BBC, the attack occurred in a space outside the concert venue, where Ariana Grande played, and her spokesman said that the music star was not harmed, but reportedly heart broken.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Theresa May says her thoughts are with the victims, and she describes the attack as appalling, according to the BBC.
A controlled explosion was reportedly carried out on a second suspect device, but the police later confirmed that the suspected device was an abandoned clothing, according to the BBC. The reports paint a chaotic scene and panic, and people are being helped out of danger to safety. The Manchester Train station has been condoned for safety reasons and children separated from their parents held in nearby hotel, while they are expected to be reunited with their parents as soon as possible.
Once again, London has come into the news of another terror attack with 19 people having their lives snuffed out, after a recent car attack on pedestrians at Westminster in London.
The victims of Monday's attack went to dance and not to die. But their families would have to contend with unexpected mourning and funeral arrangements. No one can be certain about the identity of the dead until Tuesday. But many families would be frantic to know through the night to early Tuesday morning about the safety of their family members.
Meanwhile, the ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
