The Ariana Grande Manchester concert bomber, Salman Abedi reportedly put a call across to his mother, Samia Tabbal hours before carrying out the attack that killed many people.

It has been revealed that the terrorist called his mother and said “forgive me” before embarking on the deadly mission.

Metro UK, reports that the suicide bomber made the call hours before killing 22 people and leaving many more others injured at Manchester Arena.

A Libyan anti-terror official, the Deterrent Force spokesman, Ahmed bin Salem said that the 22-year-old and three of his siblings in Libya were summoned for questioning.

Bin Salem revealed that Tabbal told interrogators her son left Libya for England just four days before carrying out the cowardly attack.

Salem said that Libyan investigators believe “the bomber acted alone” based on comments from his younger brother Hashem Abedi, who has been arrested in Libya.

Salman’s father, Ramadan Abedi was also arrested in Libya, while his other brother Ismail Abedi was arrested in the UK.

It was previously claimed that the terrorist called his brother in Libya and asked Ms Tabbal to call him back.

It has since emerged that Abedi was known to security services and his risk to the public was listed as “subject to review” ahead of the attack.

Abedi’s sister has said he “wanted revenge” for western military strikes in the Middle East.
