ISIS claims Ariana Grande concert bombing

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Tuesday for bombing a pop concert in the British city of Manchester and killing 22 people, including children.

The group said in a statement published on its social media channels that "one of the caliphate's soldiers placed bombs among the crowds," and threatened more attacks.

The group's self-styled news agency Amaq separately claimed "a security squad" carried out the attack. —Agence France-Presse
