On May 22nd, 2017 a what seems to be a terrorist attack occurred in Manchester, England. The American pop singer, Ariana Grande, had just sung her last song of the night when people reported hearing two loud noises, later on known to be bombs. At least 19 people were killed, leaving 50 others wounded. This all took place at Manchester Arena. It is known to be the deadliest attack of terrorism since the London subway bombings in 2005. The Manchester Victoria train station canceled all trains, leaving many families with fear and no transportation available. Several children were seen with blood on their clothing, and separated from their parents.

This is similar to the November, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks. Three suicide bombers killed 130 people in a northern suburb of paris. This just exemplifies that ISIS has not diminished in recent years, and that foreign relations are still not peaceful, and very violent.
