Report: Manchester suicide bomber may have taken advantage of Malaysian students' hospitality


Police officers stand guard outside a property on Springfield Street in Wigan, northern England on May 30, 2017, following a raid on a residential property as their investigations continues into the May 22 terror attack at the Manchester Arena.

PETALING JAYA: The three Malaysians questioned by British police over the Manchester attack are believed to be innocent students who may have been taken advantage of by bombing suspect Salman Abedi.

In a report on Wednesday, British newspaper The Times said that a raid on the home of the students, all in their 20s, had raised concerns that the home may have been used by Abedi as a place to stay while avoiding security detection.
