Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the attack and it is reported police know the name of the suicide bomber, although they have not released any details as they continue to investigate.

Britain’s Prime Minister, Theresa May, issued a statement saying, “All acts of terrorism are cowardly attacks on innocent people, but this attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice – deliberately targeting innocent, defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives.”
TMZ reports Grande has “indefinitely suspended her world tour” adding the young singer was “in hysterics” following the terrorist attack. Ariana’s manager, Scooter Braun, released a statement saying, “We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.”
