Suspected suicide nail bomber.
Manchester Arena massacre

When they're killing little girls, you know they've sunk as low as they can. Have we ever had an actual, on-the-ground suicide bomber in the UK before?
I get fed up of hearing people saying these sorts of things are atrocious, or that so-and-so has condemned it - we know any sane person thinks bombing innocent civilians is abhorrent, we don't need telling that Corbyn, May, Joe Bloggs think it's a tragedy. Same goes for the endless posts on social media "our thoughts are with them", "standing with Manchester". What does that even mean? "You're on your own, Manchester" isn't exactly at the forefront of anybody's minds?

7/7 was done by suicide bombers, so yes.

Indeed. Bus bomb at Tavistock Square less than 100 yards from my halls of residence. Guy I knew on reception was one of the first to rush to the scene to help.Johnsons Red Army wrote:7/7 was done by suicide bombers, so yes.
