Prison union boss calls for 'change' after brother of Manchester Arena bomber attacks guards

Prison guards have been calling for more protection "for years" to avoid attacks like the one by the Manchester Arena bomber's brother on Saturday, according a prison union boss.

The Prison Officers Association (POA) said three prison officers were attacked by 28-year-old Hashem Abedi - the brother of Salman Abedi - and that he threw hot cooking oil over the guards before stabbing them with "improvised knives", potentially made from a baking tray.
