The Manchester Arena bomber had "talked about killing people in a public space" for years before he detonated his homemade explosive at an Ariana Grande concert, it has been revealed.
The shocking information was heard at an ongoing public inquiry into the terror attack, where Salman Abedi unleashed a shrapnel packed bomb which claimed the lives of 22 people in May 2017.
Now, evidence given by a prison officer in the enquiry revealed that a current inmate at a UK prison, and close pal of Abedi, claimed he had spoken about "causing harm to others" for a long time.
