Isis Supporters Celebrating Manchester Bomb Attack (Official Claim of Responsibility Has Not Yet Been Confirmed)

ISIS supporters have been celebrating the bomb attack in Manchester, but Isis has not been officially confirmed as being responsible.

Reports coming from the mirror…

one blast killed 19 people and injured around 50 others as they were leaving the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena last night.

Police are treating the explosion as an act of terrorism.

Twitter accounts linked to Islamic State have used

hashtags referring to the blast to post celebratory messages, with some users encouraging similar attacks elsewhere.

"It seems that bombs of the British airforce over children of Mosul and Raqqa has just came back to Manchester," one user named Abdul Haqq said on Twitter.

It was a reference to the Iraqi and Syrian cities held by the militants where a American-led coalition is conducting air strikes.

Supporters posted messages encouraging each other to carry out "lone wolf" attacks in the West and shared Islamic State videos threatening the United States and Europe.

However there has been no official confirmation of ISIS taking responsibility for the attack.

Rukmini Callimachi, a New York Times reporter who monitors ISIS activity online, wrote: " Since news of the blast, I have been scouring both ISIS and al-Qaeda channels. Neither group has taken responsibility."

More news about this will be updated shortly
