Islamic State claims responsibility for deadly concert blast in Manchester

And here my first thought was the radical, fundamentalist Anglicans in the UK. </sarcasm>

The Islamic State claimed Tuesday one of its “soldiers” carried out a deadly blast in Manchester that killed at least 22 people, including teenagers and others streaming out of a pop concert.

An ambulance official said 12 children under age of 16 were among 59 injured in concert attack. One of those killed was an 8-year-old girl, Saffie Roussos, the Associated Press reported.

The Islamic State statement did not give any details about the attacker or how the blast was carried out late Monday. The statement was posted on the online messaging service Telegram and later noted by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant websites.
