PICTURED: Manchester jihad mass murderer relaxing on the beach in Libya

[the_ad id=”90513″]

All through this story, people talk about how surprised they are that Abedi went jihad, because when they knew him he wasn’t “religious.” Then we hear that the family is “super religious.” Everyone assumes that only “very religious” Muslims go jihad, although no one says that outright, because to do so could get you brought up on “hate” charges in today’s authoritarian UK. But everybody knows.

“Lounging on a Libyan beach with his childhood mates, the cannabis-smoking teenager who went on to slaughter 22 people in Manchester Arena attack after being radicalised and ‘receiving secret terror training in Syria,'” by Jake Wallis Simons, Nick Fagge, Paul Thompson, Inderdeep Bains, Emily Kent Smith and Julian Robinson, MailOnline, May 24, 2017 (thanks to Robert):

Lounging on the beach in Libya with friends and hanging out with his mates in Manchester, this is the teenage boy who became a suicide bomber.

Exclusive pictures show Salman Abedi as an innocent schoolboy, about seven years before he murdered 22 people including children as young as eight by detonating a bomb at Manchester Arena on Monday night.

According to schoolmates of the 22-year-old killer, the pictures were taken near his home in South Manchester and on a trip in his parents’ home country of Libya when he was 14 or 15.

The ‘ordinary’ teenager posing in the new photographs was described as ‘quiet’ and ‘not the sort of kid that stood out’ and showed little interest in religion, friends told MailOnline, adding that he even smoked cannabis.

There is no suggestion any of the friends he was pictured with have been involved in any wrongdoing.

He went to Burnage Academy, a boy’s school catering largely to Manchester’s Asian community and was a keen footballer, often playing at the ground at Whalley Range High School where the Manchester United Foundation held soccer sessions, they said.

‘None of them were your typical Salafis or religious or extremists. No religion was involved,’ a schoolmate said. A year ago, all of this changed when the killer started hanging out with ‘people I hadn’t seen before’, one neighbour and schoolmate claimed.

‘It was like a turning-point,’ he told MailOnline. ‘He suddenly started hanging out with people I’d never seen before and not his old friends anymore.’

A different schoolmate of the bomber, who was in the same class throughout secondary school, told MailOnline that Abedi had never shown any interest in religion.

‘He was just a normal kid, not one of those who ever particularly stood out,’ he said. Yet neighbours of a family in suburban Manchester linked to Abedi said the family there were ‘super religious’.

Abedi was a pupil at Burnage Academy For Boys between 2009 and 2011, the school said.

In a statement, it said: “We are a Manchester school. We feel the pain that Manchester feels. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Mancunians against terrorism in all its forms. Our deepest condolences go to all who have been affected by this outrage.”

Fresh details of the attacker emerged as:

Three men were arrested in south Manchester in connection with the concert bomb attack on Monday night.
Heavily armed police raided a flat in central Manchester less than two miles from the scene of the atrocity.
More details emerged of those killed, including a Polish couple and an aunt who shielded her niece in the blast.
Prime Minister Theresa May raised the terrorism threat level in Britain to ‘critical’ – the highest possible rating.
Thousands of troops will be deployed to guard ‘key locations’ amid fears another attack is ‘imminent’.
Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace and tours of Palace of Westminster tours cancelled.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd vented her frustration over US leaks revealing details about the attack.
Countries around the world supported Britain by lighting up major buildings in the colours of the Union Jack.
French president Emmanuel Macron revealed plans to extend the country’s state of emergency until November.

Police this morning searched the property and two officers remain stationed outside. Neighbours say that Abedi was seen ‘in and out’ of the house over the years and stayed there from time to time, but it is not clear whether this was his family home.

‘The family is super religious. They have about 10 kids and you never see any of the girls,’ one neighbour, who did not want to be named, said. ‘I only ever saw the mother once or twice in 10 years. She always stayed in the house and whenever I saw her she was wearing a veil.’

Last night it emerged he had only just returned from war-torn Libya before launching his horrific attack and was seen as the ‘face of hate’ among some neighbours.

British-born Abedi had spent time in a conflict zone – possibly Syria – before slaughtering 22 in a suicide bomb atrocity at Manchester Arena on Monday night, it has been claimed.

A friend of Abedi, a Mancunian of Libyan descent, said the attacker had returned from a three-week trip to Libya – also an ISIS hotbed – just days ago. He is understood to have made regular journeys to the North African country in recent years.

It was also claimed last night that he had travelled by train from London to Manchester on Monday in advance of the attack. This has raised suspicions that he may have met co-conspirators or been supplied with his explosive device and was effectively being used as a ‘mule’ by an as-yet-unidentified bombmaker.

French interior minister Gerard Collomb said this morning Abedi is believed to have travelled to Syria and had ‘proven’ links with ISIS….

my family doesn’t have the money or time to be flying back and forth to libya and hanging out at the beach with other little muslim killers. maybe the brilliant british police could ask who paid for the tickets and his travel expenses, where did he stay, where did the explosives come from, who gave him the vest loaded with ball bearings to rip the skulls and legs off the infidels, why was the nutball chanting to allah in the streets and attracting no attention from the brilliant british police, why didn’t anyone at his mosque report him to the brilliant british police, why wasn’t he on the no-fly list, and on and on, unless of course the brilliant british police are in on it

REALITY: In most western countries, the taxpayers fund terrorist activities, in their own countries via welfare, and in other countries via foreign aid.

“even smoked cannabis” ???

They *ALL* smoke cannabis, that is the least of what they do. They are crazy to begin with, then massively abuse street drugs, to a level beyond western imaginations, and end up in Never Never Land.
