The suicide bomber behind the deadly terror attack at a pop concert in Manchester, United Kingdom, died when he detonated his device, killing 22 others, say reports. A lone suicide bomber is behind the attack,but no terror organisation, including the ISIS has claimed responsibility.

Many of the dead are children. The Manchester Police said the number of injured stood at 59.

Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said the police have been treating the blast as a terrorist incident. "We believe at this stage that the attack last night was conducted by one man," told reporters.

He said children are among the deceased, and the injured are being treated at eight hospitals across Manchester.

"The priority is to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network. The attacker, I can confirm, died at the arena. We believe the attacker was carrying an improvised explosive device which he detonated, causing this atrocity.

"We would ask people not to speculate on his details or share names."

Police responded to reports of an explosion shortly after 10.35pm (local time) on Monday night at the Manchester Arena, which has the capacity to hold 21,000 people, where Grande had been performing to an audience that included many children and teenagers.
