Manchester terror attack bomber revealed as 22-year-old British national Salman Abedi who grew up in the area alongside his three brothers
The attack saw 22 people killed and more than 50 injured
THE Brit-born suicide bomber behind the Manchester atrocity has been named as Salman Abedi.
The identity of the 22-year-old was revealed after teams of armed cops swooped on his address in Fallowfield, Manchester.
Among his victims were eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos, John Atkinson andGeorgina Callander, 18, who were all killed after a huge bomb, thought to be packed with nails and bolts, exploded as Ariana Grande's Manchester concert ended.
Authorities rushed to find answers around the horrific bombing, with their investigation leading them to the suicide bomber's home.
Eyewitnesses told how bomb disposal officers were today seen entering the house before a controlled explosion took place.
MI5 spooks and anti-terror cops are now racing against the clock to uncover Abedi's links to any possible terror cell.
Sources said their aim would be to establish if Abedi himself had built the deadly device – or if a bomb-making mastermind was behind the blast.
A source told The Sun: "Attacks like this are mercifully rare because they require expertise – or a great deal of luck – to pull off.
"In this case the real fear is that Abedi was just the tip of a more sinister network.
"The focus will now be on his friends, family and other ties to see if there was a sprawling terrorist network behind him."
ISIS fanatics have already boasted of the sickening attack, claiming even more "severe" plots would be unleashed in Britain.
At least two other addresses linked to Abedi were also raided with more arrests expected in the next 24 hours.
Brit Abedi was born in December 1994 in Manchester.
He is believed to be of Libyan origin and has at least three siblings.
Abedi's attack on the 21,000-strong crowd at Monday night's Ariana Grande concertkilled 22 and left a further 59 injured.
Twelve children under 16 were taken to hospital in a critical condition last night, while many of the dead are thought to be youngsters.
