(Bloomberg) -- The father of Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi was detained by unknown security personnel in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Wednesday, according to witnesses at the scene.
Three armed vehicles arrived to take away Ramadan Abedi and another unidentified man. In an interview with Bloomberg hours earlier, the father had spoken of his recent meeting with his son in Tripoli, said he was yet to be contacted by U.K. authorities and spoke of his disbelief of hearing the news of Salman’s involvement.
