Manchester attack: 25-year-old arrested in Old Trafford as armed police continue raids

Cops on Sunday have carried out another raid in Moss Side and arrested a 14th terror suspect following Monday's deadly terror attack in Manchester.

Locals described hearing an "explosion" as masked cops armed with assault rifles stormed a house in the area. Photographs of cops and police sniffer dogs undertaking the raid have also been posted online. It followed the arrest of a 25-year-old man in the Old Trafford area. The raid occurred on Quantock Street, which is close to the bomber's barber shop which cops raided on Friday morning. "As it stands 14 people in total have been arrested in connection with the investigation, of which two people have since been released without charge. "A total of 12 men remain in custody for questioning."

The raid comes just days after suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a nail bomb at Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert, killing 22. Britain's official terror threat level was yesterday reduced from "critical" to "severe" after days of police raids netted more than a dozen suspects. Pope Francis is urging prayers for the victims of the Manchester concert attack and has denounced how "so many young lives were cruelly broken."

Francis led thousands of people in St. Peter's Square in prayer Sunday, saying he was "close to the relatives and all those who are weeping for the dead." Britain is still looking for other suspects in the May 22 bombing at an Ariana Grande concert that killed 22 people.

Police have 12 suspects in custody but are looking for other members of the network of attacker Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old Briton of Libyan descent. Britain's interior minister says the hunt is still on for suspects as they may still be at large.
