“At local level, it’s different."
THE Prison Officers’ Association (POA) called today for better safety measures following an attack on guards by Manchester Arena bomb plotter Hashem Abedi.
Mr Abedi threw hot cooking oil over three prison guards at HMP Frankland on Saturday and used home-made weapons to stab them.
He has since been transferred to Belmarsh high-security jail, it is understood.
