The officers received \u201cburns, scalds and stab wounds\u201d during the attack, the association said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A statement from the organization said that Mr. Abedi \u201cthrew hot cooking oil over them then produced homemade weapons and proceeded to stab the officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesperson for the country\u2019s prison service said that, as of 4 p.m. on Saturday, one officer, a woman, had been treated for her injuries at a hospital and then had been discharged. Two male officers remained in the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2020, Mr. Abedi was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 55 years for his part in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/05\/22\/world\/europe\/ariana-grande-manchester-police.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the 2017 attack in Manchester.<\/a> The Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombing, which was the deadliest terror attack in Britain since a series of bombings that struck public transport across London in 2005.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Abedi was convicted of murdering the 22 victims who died in the blast after prosecutors said he was \u201cjust as responsible\u201d as his brother, Salman Abedi, who died in the attack. British law did not permit a judge to give Mr. Abedi a life sentence without parole, because he was under the age of 21 at the time of the attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a statement about Saturday\u2019s attack, the prison service said: \u201cPolice are now investigating, so it would be inappropriate to comment further. Violence in prison will not be tolerated, and we will always push for the strongest punishment for attacks on our hardworking staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The attack is being investigated by the Durham Constabulary, which said its inquiries were ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/12\/world\/europe\/manchester-arena-bomber-attack-prison.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brother of the terrorist who bombed an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, in 2017 was accused on Saturday of launching<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/manchester-arena-bombers-brother-is-accused-of-attack-on-prison-guards\/12\/04\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47549,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2025\/04\/12\/multimedia\/12INT-UK-PRISON-hvzl\/12INT-UK-PRISON-hvzl-facebookJumbo.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47548"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
