- British police today identified the suspected suicide bomber behind Monday's attack in Manchester as 22-year-old Salman Abedi.
Two U.S. officials who have been in contact with British authorities said Abedi was believed to have traveled to Manchester from London by train.
Authorities are now trying to determine if Abedi was part of a larger network.
Abedi was born in Manchester in 1994 to parents of Libyan birth, U.S. security officials said, citing British intelligence officials.
A 23-year-old man arrested by police in south Manchester in connection with the attack on Tuesday was believed to be Abedi's brother, news reports said.
His parents emigrated from Libya to London before moving to the Fallowfield area of south Manchester, where they have lived for at least 10 years, the officials said.

French minister says Manchester attack suspect probably traveled to Syria
British investigators told French authorities that the suspect in the Manchester bombing had probably traveled to Syria, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said on Wednesday.British police said on Tuesday they believed British-born Salman Abedi, 22, carried out a suicide bombing at a concert hall that killed 22 people, including children.
"Today we only know what British investigators have told us - someone of British nationality, of Libyan origin, who suddenly after a trip to Libya, then probably to Syria, becomes radicalized and decides to carry out this attack," Collomb told BFMTV.
Pressed on how he knew Abedi had been in Syria, Collomb said this was the information that French and British intelligence services had.
Asked if he believed Abedi had the support of a network, Collomb said: "That is not known yet, but perhaps. In any case, (he had) links with Daesh (Islamic State) that are proven."
