AS the world joins the United Kingdom (UK) to mourn the killing of 22 people in a terror attack at Manchester Arena, reports indicate that no Tanzanian was killed or harmed in the explosion.
As of today evening it had been confirmed that 22 people died, with 59 others injured in the explosions.
Revelers were leaving the arena after a concert by US singer Ariana Grande when the explosion was heard.
In a statement in Downing Street, the PM said it was "now beyond doubt that the people of Manchester and of this country have fallen victims to a callous terrorist attack" that targeted "defenseless young people".
She said the security services believe they know the attacker's identity but are not yet able to confirm.
She chaired the meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee and is expected to travel to Manchester later.
It is the worst terrorist attack in the UK since the July 7 bombings in 2005 in which 52 people were killed.
