MSNBC: Manchester Terrorist Does Not Appear to Have Been an Angry Person Sitting at Home Mixing Chemicals

EXCERPT:

ENGEL: "This -- this bomber, the more we learn about him, does not appear to have been just an angry person who was sitting in his home mixing chemicals, that he traveled abroad numerous times to Libya in the last 12 months. The French interior minister today said he traveled to Syria as well, was believed to have traveled to Syria and that he had, quote, 'proven ties' to ISIS. I’m also told that he had connections to al Qaeda as well. And this competing series of connections that he had is one thing that has officials really concerned. They want to know how far did his network reach. Who exactly was he connected with. Particularly there’s a lot of focus on the bomb itself. It was big, it was sophisticated, and he may have had help making it, I’m told by U.S. intelligence official."
