The woman was the sixth to be detained in the United Kingdom as part of a fast-moving investigation into this Monday’s bombing at an Ariana Grande pop concert. The blast killed 22 people and injured over 60.
Police also arrested a man later on Wednesday at an address in the town of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England, bringing up the total count to seven. Separately, Manchester police raided a property in the southern Moss Side area and carried out a controlled explosion.
