Manchester knows from bitter experience that it takes unity to survive a terror attack

Manchester knows from bitter experience that it takes unity to survive a terror attack Updated 7 mins ago Manchester is facing the latest tragedy to befall the city with a mix of defiance and shock. Thursday's attack on a synagogue came eight years after a suicide bomber targeted an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena venue, killing 22 people. In 1996, the IRA detonated a bomb outside a shopping mall that injured more than 200 people. That followed another bomb attack in 1992. Such incidents are still rare in the U.K., but Manchester, which is famed for its world-famous soccer teams and equally vibrant music scene, has also earned unwanted notoriety as the scene of multiple tragedies.
