Manchester Arena bombing: MI5 says sorry for 'significant missed opportunity to take action'
Security service MI5 today said sorry for not preventing the Manchester Arena terror bombing after a report found opportunities were missed.
The Home Secretary, meanwhile, said authorities would 'do everything possible to prevent a repeat of this horrifying attack'. Part of the public inquiry, which ran from September 2020 to February 2022, was held in private, where four MI5 officers and 10 counter-terrorism police detectives, all anonymised and referred to by letters, gave evidence behind closed doors.
"Having examined all the evidence, the Chair of the Inquiry has found that 'there was a realistic possibility that actionable intelligence could have been obtained which might have led to actions preventing the attack'. Responding to the findings Home Secretary Suella Braverman, said: "Today is a difficult day. On 22 May 2017, an act of pure evil took the lives of 22 people at Manchester Arena. My thoughts are with their loved ones and all those who had their lives changed forever.
