Police increase patrols to protect Didsbury Mosque following Arena bomb inquiry criticism
Police have increased patrols around Didsbury Mosque amid fear of attacks after it was criticised in the third and final report of the public inquiry into the bombing at Manchester Arena.
Last week's third and final report of the public inquiry into the 2017 bombing, which claimed 22 lives, concluded Didsbury Mosque was not an ‘active factor or cause’ in the radicalisation of suicide bomber Salman Abedi or brother Hashem. In his evidence, El-Saeiti said he received death threats on social media over one address he gave at the mosque following the Islamic State murder of Salford taxi driver Alan Henning - and there were concerns he would be attacked by the Abedi brothers Salman and Hashem.
"So we are of course worried. We are worried for the attendees. We are worried for the children who actually attend the Arabic koran school here. Of course we are worried. The parents are worried. But we will protect our institute and we will protect our place of worship until hopefully the security services will be able to stop these bad right-wing influences on our place of worship."
