The brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has been found guilty of every charge he faced having helped his sibling commit ISIS-inspired mass murder.
A jury convicted Hashem Abedi, 22, after less than five hours of deliberation at the end of a seven week trial at the Old Bailey in London.
The panel of three women and eight men found Abedi guilty of 22 counts of murder; one count of attempted murder concerning those who were injured but survived the blast; and conspiring with his brother to cause an explosion.
He now faces life in prison.
Hashem Abedi was 2,000 miles away in Libya at the time his brother Salman Abedi detonated a huge bomb in his backpack in the foyer of Manchester Arena as mainly young concert-goers were leaving an Ariana Grande pop concert on the evening of May 22, 2017.
Salman Abedi, then 22, killed himself and 22 others in the blast, the youngest of them aged eight, and injured hundreds more, leaving 92 of them with life-long injuries.
The trial heard Hashem Abedi had encouraged his brother and helped him design the devastating bomb as well as source shrapnel and chemicals to make deadly TATP explosive.
The Manchester-born siblings, from Fallowfield, began organising their terror attack five months before the bombing, getting unwitting friends to purchase bomb-making chemicals via their Amazon accounts.
They manufactured the explosive at a 12th floor apartment in Blackley before suddenly abandoning their operation in April 2017, flying out to Libya with their parents.
Then, on May 18, 2017, Salman Abedi flew back to Manchester before carrying out the devastating attack alone days later.
Following a seven-week trial, the foreman of the jury announced their verdicts in the absence of the defendant, who refused to attend the latter part of the trial and sacked his defence team.
In turn, the foreman announced guilty murder verdicts on each murder count: Elaine McIver, 43; Saffie-Rose Roussos, eight; Sorrell Leczkowski, 14; Eilidh MacLeod, 14; Nell Jones, 14; Olivia Campbell-Hardy, 15; Megan Hurley, 15; Georgina Callander, 18; Chloe Rutherford,17; Liam Curry, 19; Courtney Boyle, 19; Philip Tron, 32; John Atkinson, 28; Martyn Hett, 29; Kelly Brewster, 32; Angelika Klis, 39; Marcin Klis, 42; Michelle Kiss, 45; Alison Howe, 45; Lisa Lees, 43; Wendy Fawell, 50; and Jane Tweddle, 51.
