President Nana Akufo-Addo has condemned as despicable and cowardly the acts of persons behind the bombing in Manchester, UK, in the early hours of Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cShocked and saddened by yesterday’s terror attack in Manchester, resulting in the deaths of 22 people and injuries to 59. I condemn these despicable and cowardly acts, and extend my deepest condolences to the affected families,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said in a series of tweets on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Monday’s attack outside an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena\u00a0killed at least 22 people, including children, according to Manchester Police.<\/p>\n

A lone suicide bomber set off a homemade bomb and police have subsequently arrested a 23-year-old man in Chorlton, south Manchester, in connection with the attack. Some of the victims have started being identified.<\/p>\n

The UK prime minister, Theresa May, in a statement, said it was “now beyond doubt that the people of Manchester and of this country have fallen victim to a callous terrorist attack” that targeted “defenceless young people”.<\/p>\n

She noted that the security services believe they know the attacker’s identity but are not yet able to confirm it.<\/p>\n

The Queen also expressed her condolences to all those affected, adding that “the whole nation has been shocked by the death and injury”.<\/p>\n

This bombing marks the worst terrorist attack in the UK since the July 7 tube bombings in 2005 in which 52 people were killed.<\/p>\n
