Sir,
I would like to offer my condolences following Monday’s terrible attack at the Manchester Arena.
When the news of this appalling and brutal act came to us, most of us will have been stunned. That young people and children, with others, could be the subject of what police are now treating as a premeditated act of violence is beyond comprehension. There is no cause, political or religious, that justifies actions of senseless brutality, anywhere or at any time.
