Police may issue descriptions of Manchester bombers

Police co-ordinating the hunt for the Manchester bombers believe they now have enough information to issue full descriptions of those who planted the device, writes James Cusick.

Detectives have built up a picture of events and the people involved from numerous interviews including a taxi driver who unwittingly ferried pounds 2,000 during the sale of the van which was used in the bombing, and from evidence gathered by video recordings in both Manchester and Cambridgeshire. Descriptions are likely to be issued today.
