Three prison officers have been attacked by the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber, the prison officers’ union has said.
Hashem Abedi – the brother of Salman Abedi – was sentenced in 2020 to at least 55 years in prison for his part in the atrocity.
He was jailed for life on each of the 22 counts of murder he was convicted of over the 2017 attack.
Twenty-two people were killed when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb as people were leaving an Ariana Grande concert at the venue.
He died in the attack, while hundreds of others were injured.
Hashem Abedi was found guilty by a jury of 22 counts of murder, attempted murder and plotting to cause an explosion likely to endanger life.
He helped source, buy, stockpile and transport the components for his brother’s bomb, jurors previously heard, using a number of phones, vehicles and addresses in preparation for the attack.
