Grande tweeted a statement that says "I'll be returning to the incredibly fearless city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families".

The terrorist attack at Ariana Grande's Manchester concert this week is frightful, but this hasn't stopped citizens from staying strong on this ordeal.

With the new arrest on Friday morning from an inner-city area in Manchester, the number of people arrested reached 10, of which two have been released without charge, police said.

Greater Manchester Police Chief Ian Hopkins said Friday there is no place for discrimination and hatred in Manchester and urged people to report any incidents.

Corbyn promised to reverse the police cuts, many of them implemented by May in her previous role as interior minister, and said Britain could not be "protected on the cheap".

Terror struck Monday at the end of Grande's concert at the Manchester Arena as some 20,000 fans were starting to leave.

He said fans coming to football and rugby matches this weekend should come earlier than usual because of added security screening.

On his first official trip to Britain as US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson said "all across America, hearts are broken" by the attack.

The trip comes as police and government officials in England have been angrily denouncing alleged leaks to US media outlets of information from the attack investigation.

US President Donald Trump earlier said the leaks were "deeply troubling".

Rudd said counter-terrorism was adequately resourced, and denied the cuts had made it harder to prevent Monday's attack.

Thamir Nasir, who has attended the mosque for nine years, remembered seeing Abedi there, but said he didn't know him very well. So everyone here is shocked.

British police have now resumed intelligence-sharing with their United States counterparts after a brief suspension over a series of leaks by American officials to journalists providing details of the Manchester bomb investigation.

"Go out and enjoy", Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said. Army and armed police officers patrolled major sites across the country.

Rob Harris reported from Manchester.
