British politicians suspend election campaign after Manchester attack

After an explosion at a concert killed 22 people in Manchester, campaigning has been suspended for Britain's upcoming election. 

Global politicians have joined their British counterparts in condemning the attack.

Early, Tuesday morning, about four hours after the explosion that shook Manchester Arena, following an Ariana Grande concert, British Prime Minister Theresa May released a statement condemning the "terrorist attack." 

"We are working to establish the full details of what is being treated by the police as an appalling terrorist attack. All our thoughts are with the victims and the families of those who have been affected."

Earlier, opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn reacted to the "terrible incident" on Twitter, saying his "thoughts are with all those affected." He later posted a longer statement.
