UK tribunal dismisses lawsuit by Manchester bombing survivors against MI5 over delayed claims.

The UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal has dismissed a lawsuit by over 300 survivors of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing against MI5, alleging human rights violations due to the agency's failure to prevent the attack. The tribunal ruled the case was brought too late to proceed, despite an official inquiry finding that MI5 did not act swiftly enough on key intelligence that could have prevented the bombing, which killed 22 people and injured over 100.
