PM Modi speaks to Theresa May, expresses solidarity with UK after Manchester attack

New Delhi, May 24 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday and expressed solidarity with UK after the terror attack in Manchester.

“Called @Number10gov @theresa_may to express our solidarity with UK after the terror attack in Manchester. We stand together against terror,” the Prime Minister tweeted.

The Manchester suicide attack on Tuesday claimed at least 22 lives and injured another 59 people, reports said.

The suspect has been identified as Salman Abedi.

England Home Secretary Amber Rudd feels that the person who carried out a suicide attack in Manchester was "likely" to have not acted alone.

Rudd was quoted as saying by BBC: "It was more sophisticated than some of the attacks we've seen before, and it seems likely - possible - that he wasn't doing this on his own."

British PM Theresa May gave a statement following the second COBR meeting on the Manchester attack and announced the threat level has been raised to critical.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed  the perpetrator was Salman Ramadan Abedi, a 22-year-old who was born and brought up in Britain.

The incident took place on Monday night, following the conclusion of American singer Ariana Grande's pop concert.
