The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria claimed responsibility for the Monday night attack that occurred at the conclusion of an Ariana Grande concert.

Police said at least 22 people were dead after an attacker detonated an improvised explosive device at the arena. Police identified the suspected attacker as Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old who was reportedly born in Britain to Libyan immigrants.
