Ahmed Bin Salem, a spokesman for the Tripoli-based Special Deterrence Force, said they extradited Hashem Abedi to face charges in the U.K. following a court order

A Libyan militia said it extradited the brother of the Manchester Arena suicide bomber on Wednesday to face charges in the United Kingdom.

Hashem Abedi is the brother of Salman Abedi, who set off the bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017. The blast killed 22 people and wounded hundreds. British authorities have sought Hashem’s extradition for nearly two years, saying he was involved in the attack.Both Hashem, who was then 18 years old, and the boys’ father, Ramadan Abedi, were detained by Libyan forces shortly after the attack.

The Tripoli government is currently seeking Western support as it battles forces loyal to Khalifa Hifter, a veteran Libyan general who launched an offensive against the capital in April. The Special Deterrence Force is one of several militias loosely aligned with the government that are battling Hifter’s forces.
