22 Killed and Dozens Hurt in Terror Attack at Manchester Concert
BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN ANCHOR: We're back here live in Manchester, England. I'm Brooke Baldwin. ISIS claiming responsibility for this bombing that killed 22 people, injured dozens and dozens more including young girls. We are learning more about this attacker. Let's bring in our senior international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, who has more on the investigation. What do we know about him?</s>CLARISSA WARD, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Remarkably little so far. That's pretty standard in this case when authorities want to just de just disseminate little bits of information. He is 22 years old. His name is Salman Abedi. In a home that is believed to be connected to him or to his family was the site of one of those two raids that Manchester police carried out today. During the course of that raid, there was actually a controlled detonation, a controlled explosion. Unclear if they found some type of explosive device or were concerned with something they found in that house. We are still waiting to get more information about the really crucial element of all this. Did he act alone? Did he get help? This is the real question. Was there a network. We've seen a lot loan wolves in the past especially in Europe but to make a bomb requires a certain level of sophistication that could potentially implicate a larger network.</s>BALDWIN: Do we know? I was talking to a mother and daughter who went to the hospital who were inside. They showed me their injuries and described nails, or nuts and bolts. Have police said what kind of crude device it was?</s>WARD: What they haven't said was what type of explosive was used. We know what type of explosives ISIS has used in previous attacks like the Paris attack. We have seen from the description of injuries, it appears to be crudely made device with lots of shrapnel, nuts and bolts, those kind of ingredients for lack of a better word, really just designed to create the maximum injury, the worst carnage that you can imagine. Crucially, they haven't said yet what kind of explosive was used if it is this explosive, TATP, that may be an indication that ISIS was behind it. That was the explosive used in the terrorist attacks. ISIS often likes to claim responsibility for attacks it didn't carry out simply because they are opportunistic.</s>BALDWIN: Thank you so much. We are back in Washington, D.C. in a matter of moments. The director of the National Security Agency, Mike Rogers, is set to testify any moment now on Capitol Hill. This after reports that President Trump asked him to say publicly that there was no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. What that means for the investigation next.
