LONDON, May 23 (Reuters) - At least 10 people are believed to have died after a reported blast at a concert venue in the northern English city of Manchester, which police are treating as a possible terrorist incident, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

"Senior (Other OTC: SNIRF - news) national counter-terrorism officers are assembling in London. Early estimates put fatalities at Manchester Arena in double figures," a BBC reporter said on Twitter (Frankfurt: A1W6XZ - news) .
