Father of youngest Manchester Arena bombing victim says he will sue MI5 over failures

The father of the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombing has said he is preparing to sue security services over failures to act on intelligence that could have prevented the attack.

Andrew Roussos, the father of Saffie Roussos who tragically died aged just eight, previously said MI5 have 'blood on their hands' after a public inquiry into the atrocity found the security service failed to follow up information that could have stopped bomber Salman Abedi.

Speaking on Times Radio this morning, Mr Roussos said MI5 have 'most of the blame' for the tragic attack in May 2017, where 22 people sadly lost their lived after Abedi detonated a bomb shortly after an Ariana Grande concert at the city centre venue.
