Manchester Arena survivors to sue MI5

More than 250 survivors of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack are to sue MI5, according to their lawyers.

The group's lawyers said they have submitted a group claim to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT).

Hudgell Solicitors, Slater & Gordon and Broudie Jackson Canter are the three lead firms involved in the action.

The legal action claims that MI5 failed to take action that could have stopped the attack.

An inquiry into the attack previously concluded that MI5 missed a significant opportunity to prevent the bombing.
