   British soldiers have been deployed in place of police officers to   
   guard high-profile sites such as Buckingham Palace and Parliament.   
      
   So coppers are not good enough for the well to do but certainly    
   good enough for the common folk...WTF?   
      
   In time of crisis everyone should have an UNARMED copper   
   guarding/protecting them.   
      
      
   Manchester bomber reportedly visited Germany days before attack   
      
   The suicide bomber in Manchester reportedly traveled to Germany four   
   days prior to the arena bombing, raising new concerns about the   
   possiblity of a wider terror network in Europe.   
      
   Salaman Abedi flew into Dusseldorf from Manchester about four days before   
   getting on a flight back to England, Sky News reported, citing German   
   intelligence. The report said that Abedi did not appear to be on an   
   interrnational terror watch list, which    
   allowed him to travel freely throughout Europe.    
      
   Police are racing to uncover the network around Abedi that they say   
   “clearly” exists. British authorities say they believe the 22-year-old   
   bomber was given the explosives used to kill himself and others at the pop   
   concert.   
      
   Greater Manchester Police say two more men were arrested early Thursday.   
      
   Eight men in total have been detained in connection with the attack. Police   
   are assessing a "package" the fifth suspect was carrying. A woman was arrested   
   late Wednesday but was later released with no charges.   
      
   Officers raided a property early Thursday morning in the Moss Side of the city   
   and carried out a ‘controlled explosion.’     
      
   Britain’s terrorism threat level has been raised to ‘critical,’ meaning   
   a new attack could be imminent.   
      
   The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, calling Abedi a   
   "soldier of the caliphate."   
      
   Abedi was believed to have traveled to Syria and had "proven" links with ISIS,   
   French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said Wednesday on BFM television,   
   adding that British and French intelligence have information that Abedi had   
   been to Syria.   
      
   British soldiers have been deployed in place of police officers to guard   
   high-profile sites such as Buckingham Palace and Parliament.
