Writing just hours after the incident took place, Skerrit said: "My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families and loved ones in Manchester, England this evening as a result of the actions of cowards.

"My solidarity is with the British government."

And in the early hours of this morning, Prime Minister Harris joined Skerrit in expressing his condolences on the attack, which has so far killed 22 people – including children and teenagers.

"Greatly saddened to hear of the terrible attack in Manchester and the loss of lives, some children. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all," Harris wrote. [caption id="attachment_926" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Prime Minister Timothy Harris.[/caption]

Speaking earlier today outside her Downing Street offices after a meeting with security and intelligence chiefs, British Prime Minister Theresa May said police believed they knew the identity of the bomber.

He has since been named as Salman Abedi.

“All acts of terrorism are cowardly,” she said.

“But this attack stands out for its appalling sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenceless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives.”

Islamic State, now being driven from territories in Syria and Iraq by Western-backed armed forces, claimed the attack as revenge against “Crusaders”.
