A man has been arrested at Birmingham Airport on suspicion of terrorism offences in connection with the 1996 bombing carried out by the IRA in Manchester city centre.
He was arrested on Thursday night and is in custody where he will be interviewed by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing for the North West (CTPNW) about the IRA bomb detonation that shook the city centre.
CTPNW head of investigations Detective Superintendent Andrew Meeks said: “Although thankfully no-one was killed during the 1996 Manchester bombing by the IRA, hundreds of people were left with injuries – many of which were life-changing – and many more across Greater Manchester and the North West were affected by what happened on that day.
