Update: Attacker died at Ariana Grande concert blast
[MANCHESTER] British police said 22 people including some children were killed in a suicide attack carried out by one man after a Ariana Grande concert in Manchester on Monday.
"We believe, at this stage, the attack last night was conducted by one man," Manchester Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said.
