22 May 2017 time 22:31 . A suicide bomber (Salman Ramadan Abedi) detonated an improvised explosive device, in the foyer area of the Manchester Arena. The attack took place during the egress of the Ariana Grande concert. 14,200 people were attending the concert. Many exiting concert-goers and waiting parents were in the foyer at the time of the explosion. According to evidence presented at the coroner’s inquest, the detonation of the bomb killed people who were up to 20 metres away.
The attack was in the foyer area, external of the arena; linking the arena to the near by train station, car parks and public walking routes. It should be noted that the foyer area does not fall under the control of the arenas security provider.
