We want the truth ...we want justice

FAMILIES of Manchester Arena bomb victims claim MI5 chiefs are trying to "wriggle out of justice".

More than 250 people whose lives were devastated by the atrocity at the Ariana Grande concert in 2017 have teamed up to sue the intelligence service.

They say MI5 failed to act on intelligence that could have stopped the atrocity. But MI5's lawyers claim it is too late to take them to court, according to the Sunday Times.

Charlotte Hodgson, mum of victim Olivia Campbell-Hardy, 15, was "disgusted" by MI5's response.

She said: "We want the truth, we want justice. I am sick of these companies and BOMB Salr organizations trying to wriggle out of justice for my daughter." The bomb killed 22 people and injured more than 1,000.
