TRUMP-LIKE BAN MAY HAVE STOPPED ABEDIN

TUMP'S SIX NATION TRAVEL BAN MAY HAVE SAVED MANCHESTER FROM TERROR

Had Theresa May instituted a travel ban as proposed by President Trump...(and still not instituted here)...the increased scrutiny at the airports for individuals arriving from the six Moslem nations Trump (and Obama) pointed out as unable to effectively vet air passengers and emigrants a group which which included Libya.  Had she instituted such a ban,  Albedi, the Manchester subside bomber arriving from Libya would have been subjected to  closer scrutiny.  Such a ban and institution of "extreme vetting" as proposed byPresident Trump may have frustrated the plans or intercepted the radicalized Salman Albedi

Since the attack in Manchester, we have learned a great deal about the young perpetrator, Salman Albedi, the suicide bomber who blew himself in a crowd of young people and children in the Manchester Arena two days ago. He was of Libyan ancestry, and  his parents and his younger brother reside in Libya.  He was apparently "radicalized" during his stay in Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East He frequently traveled  back and forth between Libya and the UK.     We also know that the bomb he used was well made and the explosive very powerful .  We know that he was angry and seeking revenge for the deaths of Moslem civilians killed in Syria and elsewhere in the Moslem world by western bombing and drone strikes.

He had recently returned from Libya when he committed the horrendous terrorist act...which killed so many young and innocent young people.   Knowing his travel history, it may be very likely that the origin of the explosive used in the device he detonated to such horrendous effect was from Libya.  It would have been difficult if not impossible to obtain such explosives in Manchester or the UK without detection.  

It is possible that had Teresa May, instituted a ban on immigrants from nations in chaos as well as  "extreme vetting" procedures for those entering from those countries in the UK as President  Trump proposed for the USA, the tragic  event in Manchester may have been avoided.
