Manchester, England (CNN) Salman Abedi, the man who carried out the deadliest terror attack to hit the UK in 12 years, grew up in Manchester with parents who had fled Libya under Moammar Gadhafi. Abedi's father returned to the African nation in 2011 after the rebels overthrew the government and his wife joined him earlier this year. After getting word that Salman Abedi and his brother Hashim were getting into trouble in England, Ramadan Abedi sent for his boys and they joined their parents about a month ago, a family friend in Libya told CNN. But Salman Abedi came back to England last week after telling his father he wanted to make a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, the source -- who asked not to be named for discussing sensitive family matters -- and a source in the Libyan community of Manchester, told CNN.Officials: Salman Abedi went to Libya for three weeks, returning only days before the attackFamily friend says Abedi and brother were getting in trouble in England
