The BBC reported that the Manchester Arena and Parsons Green bombers have together been charged with assaulting a prison officer.
23-year-old Hashem Abedi and 21-year-old Ahmed Hassan, are reportedly accused of assaulting an officer in HMP Belmarsh, south London. In the meantime, another man who is awaiting sentencing for terror offences is also charged with assaulting the same person. Three of these suspects are due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on 7 April. 22-year-old Muhammed Saeed from Manchester, is the third person charged. Last year, he admitted possessing terrorist documents.
Abedi, who was jailed in August for murdering the 22 victims of the May 2017 Manchester Arena attack, is also charged with assaulting a second prison officer during the same incident on 11 May. Hassan, whose Parsons Green tube bomb injured 51 people in September 2017, was jailed for attempted murder the following year.
