Dates matter to Jihadis, Manchester timed with 2013 attack: Trump's team
May 23, 2017
US President Donald Trump's Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka has
suggested that the deadly blast at Manchester arena could be timed with
the date of another fatal attack in the U.K. four years ago.
Gorka
tweeted, "Manchester explosion happens on 4th anniversary of the public
murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby. Dates matter to Jihadi terrorists."
Rigby, 25, was the British Army soldier stabbed and hacked to death in
London on May 22, 2013 by two Islamists, Michael Adebolajo and Michael
Adebowale, who ran over him with a car before attacking him with knives
and a cleaver, attempting to behead him.
At least 19 people were
killed and 50 injured after what is being investigated as a suspected
suicide bombing of a crowded pop concert in Manchester late Monday
night.
Last England saw such a deadly terror attack was in 2005
when on July 7, which killed 52 people after terrorists carried out a
series of coordinated suicide bomb attacks in central London targeting
civilians using the public transport system during the rush hour.
