A former classmate of the Manchester suicide attack suspect has said Salman Abedi was "involved" in the Libya conflict and he and other pupils were pictured with guns on social media. "He was in Libya for a period of time, as were many other Libyans that I knew from Manchester. They were armed and they were involved in military action in Libya. These are exactly the type of people that are recruited by terrorist organisations." he said. Asked if he knew about this the classmate, who attended Burnage Academy for Boys with Abedi but does not want his name to be publicised, said: "It was common. People that had him on Facebook. People that had him on Instagram. It was publicised, you know - those pictures with a gun." (Image: Salman Abedi. Credit: 麻豆社)
