Europe terrorist attack
Europe has been hit by another deadly terrorist attack that could prompt tourists to rethink plans to visit the region.

The attack on Monday evening at an Ariana Grande concert in the British city of Manchester killed at least 22 people, including children. It was the worst terror attack to hit the U.K. since the London bombings in July 2005.

Police have identified 22-year-old Salman Abedi as the suspected suicide attacker, but they're still trying to establish if he was part of a wider network. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack but offered no evidence of its involvement.
