A jailed terrorist recruiter suspected of radicalising Manchester Arena suicide bomber Salman Abedi has lost a legal bid to swerve a call to give evidence to the continuing public inquiry into the atrocity.

Abdalraouf Abdallah's lawyers had urged the chairman of the inquiry, Sir John Saunders, to cancel a notice requiring him to give evidence.

He has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and his lawyers argue calling him would infringe his human rights and increase his risk of self-harm or suicide.

But today Sir John ruled against the convicted Islamic State recruiter, who is scheduled to give evidence on Wednesday as the inquiry turns to how the bomber was radicalised. READ MORE: Mum accused of 'neglect' for leaving
