Police made two arrests yesterday, one in Moss Side and one in Rusholme. The cousins of the bomber are believed to be among those attested.

A woman arrested on Wednesday in Blackley has been released without any charge, the police said earlier.
Abedi was known to United Kingdom security services, but his risk to the public remained "subject to review", according to reports. Abedi's brother and father were arrested by a militia in that country after the bombing, the militia said.
