Manchester Arena Bombing: Could the Attack Have Been Prevented?

The Manchester Arena bombing was a suicide bombing that killed 22 people and injured 116 others on May 22, 2017.

Over the past year, a public inquiry has been looking at whether the attack could have been prevented.

The inquiry has heard evidence from witnesses, including survivors of the bombing, police officers, and security experts. It has also examined the security arrangements around the arena on the night of the bombing.

The inquiry is expected to publish its findings in the coming months. It will be up to the government to decide whether to implement any of the recommendations made by the inquiry.
