The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Tuesday for a bombing in the British city of Manchester that killed 22 people, including children, at a concert.

The group said in a statement published on its social media channels that “one of the caliphate’s soldiers placed bombs among the crowds,” and it threatened more attacks.

The group’s self-styled news agency Amaq separately claimed “a security squad” carried out the attack.

The act of giving is ibadah , and no act of ibadah can be said to be too much. Some sleep through the whole night with the alibi that they had a hectic day. Some even find it easy to compromise their sahur for more hours of sleep.
