Last I've done many videos on various areas regarding the Manchester bombing, other than basic observations I haven't really gone into detail about the alleged bomber himself. The moment the American news gave away the name of the bomber, images of Salman Abadi came out ranging from a young teenager right through to his presumed last days as a 22 year old. When I look at these pictures, I think, is this really the mastermind behind the UK's worst attack in history? This article, which is a quote from Salman's first high school, suggests that he had learning difficulties. When the cousins of Salman appeared in the media, they described Salman as bubbly and laid back. You then have, of course, the interview with the father, who was born in Libya, who didn't believe the bomber was caused by his son, a more worryingly cell, suggested it was caused by hidden hands. And so I was in the first place to see the BBC, and I was in the second place because I was in the second place in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, one of the most important things I saw was that Salman Abadi was born. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I Minister of detailed engineering, minister of Maison gave the Minister ofisión exploding These flower medicines bitch And I've been to study The media tried to explain in a confusing manner that salmon had returned to the UK via Turkey in Germany. There's not much information as to why he supposedly stopped off in Germany, but no, you cannot get a direct flight to the UK from Libya. You typically have to go via Turkey, so this is an uncommon. This picture was released sometime after the first batch of CCTV stills, but it's my opinion that this is from the London Airport. Whether the person here is inbound or outbound, I cannot say, but it'd be nice if these CCTV stills were date and timestamps. The media then can't have gave dates for the first batch of CCTV stills that were released to the public. I guess we'll just have to trust the media not to have made these dates up. One still is from Market Street, though there's no date mentioned against this one. The safe saying it over and over, none of the CCTV stills have dates or times to corroborate with the media. This is the location on Google Maps. The next undated still is from Backactin Street and Manchester, and the person seen in this still is pulling a suitcase behind them. Here's the Google Map to confirm that position. Next we have another still from Market Street, which was taken on the 18th of May, four days before the bombing. On the 19th of May, a person can be seen standing outside the front of a building on Granby Road, a much lighter blue suitcase now in tow. The stills come from CCTV underneath this green canopy. On the 21st of May, the BBC, not the police, got their hands on their video which came from a shop on Princess Street. Here you'll see this man buying some items. The question is to why someone who's planning to blow themselves up the following day would buy these items still remains. As you see, they explain that since he's wearing the same cap and trainers, there's a good chance this is the same person in the CCTV picture where the police removed the background. Looking at that CCTV, it's the same guy that's been in the shop several times in the past. He looks exactly like the guy that they say that has done the bombings. His eyes stand out so much from the guy that we recognise from the past. It makes me feel quite scared really, especially being as we're also close in the shop, like a small family, we all get along, all our regular customers, especially the customers that live in the same building where it could be making this bomb. If you haven't done already, really look at all these pictures and ask yourself two questions. Can you actually make out clearly Salmon and Abedie in these pictures? When comparing the shop video versus the video where the person is taking out their bins, do they look like the same person based on their build etc? Next up is the 22nd of May, the day of the bombing. I don't know which comes first, but the one furthest away from Salmon's temporary flat is Spear Street. This person can be seen pulling a suitcase and carrying what looks to be a black bin bag. Another still is provided for Granby Row and this was on the 22nd of May too. This person though is not carrying the black bin bag but still has the blue suitcase. I've come across this picture but I cannot find the location, no do I have a date to fit in with the timeline, but if anyone knows where this is, please drop me a comment. So soon after the bombing, the Abedie family harm is raided, as you can see the tactical unit are ready to scale the fence and rush the house. This next clip was filmed by a neighbour across the road. These pictures show armed police storming the property after using explosives to gain entry. It seems strange to me that the same neighbour also filmed the person taking out their bins. Who took the video? Why did they film this in 2016? They pulled it only for its surface after the bombing. It's almost as if they needed to prove that Salmon existed. Now regardless of the world's media being outside the Abedie family house, this careless person made sure that the Know Your Chemicals booklet was in full view. Again, is this to make sure that you know that Salmon was a proficient bomb maker? Next to be raided was the Granby Row flat in the centre of Manchester. There's no proper source attached to this quality but a large number of packages have been delivered in recent weeks. Other neighbours say that they noticed a strong smell of explosives. Shame they didn't tell anyone. I'm not sure how Salmon was funded all these premises but this flattened blackly was then raided. This time you have the landlord confirming that you could spell chemicals. Just so you know, the landlord was from Libya which will make more sense later in this video. Many other raids were carried out all around the Greater Manchester area and this article suggests that the raids were based on the network relating to Salmon Abedie. After this you then had the evacuation following the report of a suspicious vehicle, possible belonging to Salmon Abedie. Here's a couple of pictures of the car in question. Does this remind you of anything? Maybe it's standard procedure for the police to remove backgrounds. Not long after, the police then asked the public to come forward and confirm if it's seen this vehicle at any time. When was this picture from? What road is it driving along? Did the confirm who was driving? No. None of these things have been confirmed so it seems like a bit of a needle in a haystack but is that done on purpose? Then there's this picture. Originally released the wrong way around but when you correct it, it's a blue tub sitting on the back seat of the car, presumably the white car. Was this unmoved and in plain sight of anyone who could have walked past and seen it in the car? It seems a bit dumb to leave it out in the open for all to see, especially when you're never using the car to transport your materials around, only using just the suitcase instead. There was also this back in the car too. Following the release of these various things around in the car, I cannot find any other information as to whether they did confirm that this was Salman's car in the end and it's certainly not mentioned in any reports that have been released recently. When the raids were going on, this barber shop was raided. It was being run by Abdallah Fajarani, Salman's cousin. Also, if you haven't seen this picture before, this is the one highly suspected to have been felt a shot due to the shadow being on the wrong side of Salman Abadi's face in comparison to the others. When Abdallah was arrested, the media came out with stories like this to make sure the public knew that this family were bad news. After he and his brother were released, they had their heads turned and carried out a couple of interviews. Again, stating they could not believe that Salman had done the bombing, but now disown him as a cousin. There was a very short inquest into the death of Salman and here's an extract. He mentions there at the bottom about being able to identify Salman since his bank card was found at the scene. Where have we heard that before? September 11th, 2001. Despite reports of planes crashing into buildings, blowing up in a fireball and everything being reduced to dust, passports were found which led to confirmation as to who was behind it all. On December 19th, 2016, a Tunisian man hijax al-Ara with no prior experience in driving HGVs, but plows through a Christmas market and ends up on the run. It seems he too left his ID behind as authorities found it conveniently in the truck. Again, in the case of Manchester, every effort was being made to make sure it can't be argued that no one else other than Salman Abadi carried out this attack. Whilst the attack happened on the 22nd of May and registered officers wouldn't be open until the following day, that didn't slow down one newspaper getting their hands on Salman Abadi's birth certificate by the 25th of May and letting the world know all this information. I'd like now to introduce Akram Ramadhan. He's a Libyan who currently works as a Mechanic at a Garage I cannot OK. He's also a Broadcaster for a Community Radio Station and between 2012 and 2014 was the head of security for the Libyan government. It looks like however that he was in Libya in 2011 fighting to overthrow Colonel Gaddafi. Oh look, it says here that he lived in Manchester for 22 years. In this article, he mentions that Akram's father was killed for plotting to kill Gaddafi. It says that his dad was a quantum physicist which would make me wonder if he knew Salman's mother, who was a nuclear scientist. Here's a clip from 2011 when the ITV will cover an event in Libya. He will see Akram giving an interview as to their progress. Preparing the bullets for a final battle. They've been doing it for days and these rebels are ready to end the last stand of Gaddafi's men anywhere near Libya's capital. Beyond the heat haze, they're target, the time of Bani Walid and several hundred Gaddafi gunmen still holding the center. Among the rebels determined to take it, Akram, a mechanic from Manchester. We still have some hotheads inside who are refusing to surrender and they're still talking to them because we don't need any blood anymore on our hands. So it's still dangerous at the moment, yes. The wind cooked blow. Fast forward to the Manchester bombing and it's as if there are no other Libyans to talk to. The Akram given a very cagey interview, moments after Ishmael, Salman's older brother, was arrested. As per this description, despite living above Ishmael's flat, he says that he only knows him by his first name and based on his interview, he makes out as if he doesn't really know him much either. Does he want to shoot him tight or? Yes, he does. You don't know what family works for him? No, no. To be honest, I don't. Happy about spoken to him. Yes, I've fixed his cards many times. But we didn't get into... We did speak about the Middle East and supply this but never into extremism to be honest. No, no, no. Under the sea, but friendly guy? Yes, yes. Very friendly child. Yes. No, he's national, what's he? It's borderline Libyan to be honest. I think he's Libyan. I think, but I can't confirm that. I really can't confirm that. Did you get the impression he's been in England for a long time? He's Bridgeborne, I think. He's definitely got his original. Yes. And he fixed his cards, he's got more of an eye. Well, they know him, I'm panic. That's what everybody says. And he always asks me for help on his car. If anything wrong with it, diagnose his car, whatever it is. And I just have a look at it and tell him... What's all a car? It's a French car. What's all that? I do, but as I said, it's still an ongoing investigation. So, who knows? Can you say whether it's a saloon or a hatchback or...? What's the five, though? Did you check in the car away, do you know? I haven't been inside yet. I haven't been inside the compound yet, so... Did your wife say anything else about what happened? No, no, no. She said to me, don't forget to bring your daughter. If you can't bring her here, go and take her to your grandmother. And did you mention having any hobbies or things that you go to the other day? He's a side-wist. He's a side-twist. I've seen him on a bike. Thank you very much. You're welcome, everyone. Yeah, thank you very much. Good, I just asked you which... The number of the flatwich was ringing. OK. Despite what you've just heard, in another article he says he spoke with his mother's father, so he must be closer than he's making out. Then I've come across this article when it turns out that he's not only a baby family since 1992. I think it's fair to say that he knew this family very well, so why was it lying? This next clip is from a BBC panorama programme where Akram confirms he was out in Libya fighting, but it's becoming clear that his real role is to talk about how people who came back from Libya should be vetted first. That's me. We were there chasing the deficit fighters. It was vicious fights, deadly fights. It was scary sometimes. Many British Libyans took part in the fighting. Akram Ramadhan also from Manchester says he met a baby's father during the war. He made some inquiries to find out where the fighters are and where the front line is. I've been driven to a city of Rishbarn where I told him this is the foreign fighters camp. I went in there to meet some people. See if anybody I know in there let me in. And one of the first people I met was Ramadhan in there. I've seen him very in arms after Tripoli has been liberated in a city called Benulid where it was the last hot spots for Kadafi's troops and his son was in there. And there was fierce battles to be honest on that in that city. We all been fearless fighters. We all fought for life. Now what? The British government wanted Kadafi gone too and did little to stop fighters traveling. But did they plan for their return? They know there's a lot of Libyan fighters there. They should have planned ahead and thought if these kids are coming back I think they need some psychological looking into it. In this clip from the BBC it's really important that you listen to the very first thing that he says because his story is in fact third hand. But the point is to demonize Salmana Bada. I wasn't there but what I got it from one of the people who were praying there. That he approached the Imam and gave him a really, really, really killer look. Really a bad looking in his eyes like what was going to happen or you know it's a threatening look let's put it this way. What did the Imam do to can you explain what the Imam did previously to earn this threatening look? Yeah he was against he was informing people that Islamic state, dash whatever is called or any terrorist group are harmin, slant and harmin humanity. They are against human beings. Anybody who is not Muslim like them or their own extreme version of Islam then they shouldn't be have the right to live. And someone that obeyed his reaction to that was to do what? He looked into the eyes of the Imam and gave him a really, really, really deadly look. He didn't say anything. I know he didn't say anything but his facial features can tell the whole story. At Kramlin does more interviews with others including an Australian news station about the possibility of a radicalized people coming to the UK. Do you think somebody here in Manchester may have influenced someone? There is unsavory character and Manchester definitely. Who might be influencing? It might be influencing boys. Yes, promising having an influence and God knows what. I don't think he did this on his own. Somebody must have influenced him, playing, watched, corrupt his brain. But what did the authorities know about Salman Abadi? Channel 4 News has been told that concerns about his behavior had been reported to the police by members of his community. Today his local mosque made this statement. I think he's been radicalized one way or another. How he got radicalized is a mystery. A Kram Ramadan is a close family friend who watched the children grow up. Salman who used to enjoy drinking and smoking with friends had recently become increasingly fervent. He never skipped a fudge of prayer which is the first thing in the morning, right? In the mosque always. He always prayed one of the first guys to pray there. He looked like a religious guy, typical religious guy, stubble beard, long, long gelbabs. He greeted us with a salam and the one he left to went with a salam. Like thousands of other Libyans fleeing Godaffees regime, Salman's family settled here in Manchester. His father had worked for Godaffees security services, but went back to Libya during the 2011 revolution to fight against the dictator. So Salman's father went back to Libya to fight? Yeah. Everybody has went back to fight to get rid of the tyrant. After a few months Salman joined his father in Libya and was also trained to fight. But could he have been instructed in how to make a bomb like that used in Monday's attack? He could have lent a fight, yes, but to make something as deadly as what he did, it's very hard to tell. In the chaos that followed the revolution, extremist groups battled for control. ISIS gained a foothold in the country. Many fighters traveled to Syria, and today the French authorities suggested Salman was one of them. During the Arab Spring in Libya in 2011, droves of young British Libyan men went off to fight and overthrown Godaffee. Britain led the NATO intervention with air strikes, but it needed ground forces to do the real work. Men like Akra, who went from Manchester to fight. Why were the British authorities so relaxed about people going off to fight in Libya? They know they're going for a good cause. That's the ideology at the time. That we couldn't get rid of Godaffee ourselves to Libyan have to rise up first. We now know some became radicalized while fighting there in Islamist militias. So was it a mistake to let them go and then let them come back? I don't think it was a mistake. I think it's the mistake they made when people come back. They didn't get their brains examined and checked out. I mean, anybody has been to a war zone. He needs some psychotherapy. Find out if he's gone off the vendor or not. Not everyone who goes off to fight wants to bring the violence back home to Britain. But counterterrorism forces can't always tell the difference. And that carries enormous risks for countries like the UK. This type of guy felt isolated between their home and the UK. He did not accept it in a community here and they're not accepted back home. They call them white Libyans when they come here. They call them terrorists, they're misdemeanor fighters or whatever. So the lack of social cohesion with them and understanding what's gone wrong with them helped a lot of these recruiters to go on their heads. There's more to this guy than meets the eye. He knew the obeyed if I'm right. He goes out and fights in 2011 and the first familiar face he comes across his Salmon's dad. He clearly has a relationship with him. And given that he's the mediocre two guy, I believe he's a UK government asset. In this PDF document which I'll leave a link below, it goes into greater details to who Salmon's father is and his relationship with the UK. He mentions when the family came to the UK in the early 90s, the first lived in London. This would explain why his smell was born in Westminster, the home of MI5 and MI6. On the topic of MI5, in the recently aired BBC documentary David Anderson talks about Salmon and her baby because of course, like with all terror attacks, they knew who he was beforehand. In the three or four months before the attack, MI5 did receive two pieces of intelligence which we can now see were extremely significant. What was the intelligence that they had on him? I'd love to be able to tell you, but there are all sorts of reasons why the sources of intelligence need to be protected. But the information was misinterpreted. One thing they could have done and should have done is to ensure that once they knew he had gone to Libya, he was stopped at the port when he got back. And that step wasn't taken, that I think was a mistake. There are more than 20,000 people who have in the past been subject to interest. Salmon and a baby was one of those. The big problem is working out which of those people might be willing to reengage. They got it down to a handful that they thought posed the strongest case for looking again at. Salmon and a baby was one of that very small handful. The meeting was actually fixed for the 31st of May 2017 to consider his case and to consider what ought to be done about him. That was nine days after he detonated his suicide vest. This here is a report compiled by a David Anderson which covers the four terror attacks which occurred in 2017. The sections in this document that confirmed that they could have done more and should have interpreted Salmon's action sooner as being terror-related, but in the same breath, believe they still did the right thing at the time. The report does not mention about Salmon's father and his relationship with the UK, which is a massive deal, but I've mentioned time and time again that if this was a event was real, the funders would be up in arms and demanding full disclosure, but that just isn't happening. This headline states that a large part of an terror network has been arrested. Do you realise that those same people have been released? If you believe the official narrative, does that not bother you? There's a reason why the theme for Manchester's attack is don't look back in anger. They don't want you to get angry and look for answers. As long as you donate your money, they'll tell you everything you need to know. There's a lot more to the UK relationship with the Abadi family and some poor quality background removed. Non-time, Stamock CCTV stills don't convince me of his involvement. In short, I think Salmon is a patsy.
