Une maman venue rejoindre ses enfants tout juste après le spectacle d’Ariana Grande au Manchester Arena lundi soir, est convaincue d’avoir vu le terroriste juste avant qu’il ne se fasse exploser.
***Voyez ci-dessus notre entrevue avec un expert en sécurité sur la question des attentats***
L’assaillant a fait 22 morts et plus de 59 blessés en faisant détonner la charge explosive qu’il portait dans le hall menant tout droit à l’amphithéâtre.
Emma Johnson, de Preston, dans le Lancashire, attendait sa fille de 15 ans et son garçon de 17 ans à cet endroit, lorsqu’elle a vu l’individu qui contrastait étrangement dans la foule.
Le terroriste portait un chandail rouge très vif, un rouge qui attirait l’attention dans la marée de jeunes habillés avec des teintes roses, la couleur de prédilection des admirateurs d’Ariana Grande.

En entrevue avec la radio BBC Radio 5 Live, Emma Johnson a affirmé qu’elle était à environ 15 pieds de l’assaillant lorsqu’elle l’a remarqué.
«Nous étions en train d’attendre nos enfants à la sortie du spectacle, et nous patientions dans le foyer. Nous nous tenions à cet endroit afin que nos enfants nous voient», a raconté Mme Johnson.
«Pendant une toute petite seconde, j’ai aperçu ce que je peux décrire comme étant un chandail rouge très voyant.» Selon elle, le terroriste portait un chandail rouge très vif avec un panneau gris au devant.
«Toute de suite après l’avoir remarqué, l’explosion s’est produite.»
Selon elle, le son de l’explosion était assourdissant, et a ajouté que des morceaux de métal volaient dans tous les sens.
«Il y a avait des corps partout. Et ensuite j’ai vu un torse et des restes humains. C’était absolument horrible. »
«Il y avait des gardes de sécurité à chaque porte, mais n’importe qui pouvait entrer dans le foyer, et ce tout au cours de la soirée».
Elle a ajouté un mot pour les victimes. «Mes pensées vont à tous ceux qui ont perdu un être cher. Je ne cesse de penser à ces pauvres familles», a conclu Emma Johnson.
