Greater Manchester Police have arrested a man in connection with the bombing of the city centre in 1996, which was claimed at the time by the Provisional IRA.
He was arrested at Birmingham Airport on Thursday night on suspicion of terrorist offences.
On June 15, 1996, two men parked a lorry near Manchester’s Arndale shopping centre, before calling in a coded warning.
