Manchester attack: Police find 'significant' car | Manchester attack: Police find 'significant' car |
(35 minutes later) | |
Police investigating the Manchester bombing have found a car they say may be "significant" to their inquiry. | |
Officers have evacuated an area of the city while they assess the white Nissan Micra in Rusholme and are asking people to avoid the Banff Road area. | |
It comes as the Duke of Cambridge visited the city to meet some of the police officers who were first on the scene following the attack. | |
Suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people at Manchester Arena on 22 May. | |
CCTV images released | |
Speaking about the car find, Det Ch Supt Russ Jackson said it was "potentially a significant development". | |
"We are very interested in anything people can tell us about the movements of this car, and who was in it, over the past months," he added. | |
"We are also interested in any information about who may have had access to the car or who may have gone to and from it." | |
The Royal Manchester Infirmary remained open but people had been evacuated from Ronald McDonald House, which accommodates families of patients at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. | |
Police also released new CCTV images of Abedi before the attack at Manchester Arena. | |
Meanwhile, two of the bomber's cousins have said they had no idea he was planning his attack. | |
Isaac and Abz Forjani were arrested by police after the attack - and were questioned for a week - but have since been released without charge. | |
They say they did not know about Abedi's extremist views - adding that he may have been radicalised abroad. | |
Isaac, 24, said: "It's not easy being connected to 22 lost, innocent lives. | |
"The fact that the person that did this is related to us by blood is something that's going to stay with me for the rest of my life. | |
"My thoughts are with the families of the victims. I really do feel for them. | |
"We went in, we could come out, we can try and move on with our lives. They've lost their loved ones." | |
Sixteen people have been arrested over the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert and 10 remain in custody. | |
Prince William met Chief Constable Ian Hopkins on his visit to the Greater Manchester Police headquarters. | |
He also met taxi drivers and other members of the community who responded to the attack during a visit to Manchester Cathedral. |
