CNN: Manchester Bomber Trained by ISIS in Syria According to U.S. Officials

‘They believe that the bomber spent some time in Syria training with ISIS in the months before he launched this horrific attack’

EXCERPT:

WARD: “This is an interesting one, Wolf. CNN is hearing from a U.S. official that they believe that the bomber spent some time in Syria training with ISIS in the months before he launched this horrific attack, but this is a little bit at odds with what we’re hearing from Turkish officials who tell CNN that the bomber did indeed pass through Istanbul airport, but that he never actually left the airport. He never entered the country and, of course, the primary way to get into ISIS-held Syria is through Turkey. So we’re hearing a little bit of discrepancy on whether or not he actually went into Syria. U.S. Officials said he did and he spent time there training with ISIS."
