London, NU Online
The Nahdlatul Ulama Special Branch Board (PCINU) of United Kingdom (UK) strongly condemned the terror attack in Manchester Arena on Monday (22/5).
Chairman of PCINU UK Ahmad Ataka said expressed his deepest condolences to the dead, injured, and affected families of the acts of terror.
"Any action of terror is unacceptable, whatever the motive and whoever the perpetrators," he explained.
Ataka reminded all parties to not directly link terrorism with Islam. The acts of terror that claimed many victims and spread fear were not in line with the teachings of Islam.
"Terrorism has nothing to do with religion," he said.
As reported by thusun.co.uk, at least 22 are dead and 59 injured after a suicide bomber detonated himself at a pop concert in Manchester.
Police confirmed children are among the dead following the blast after an Ariana Grande gig at the Manchester Arena.

The first victims of the attack have been named as 18-year-old Georgina Callander and eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos.
The bomber has been identified as UK-born Salman Abedi, 22.
