Police who staged a mock attack featuring a bomber shouting "Allahu Akbar" have been forced to apologise for stereotyping.
The exercise - criticised for using a fake "Muslim terrorist" - was to test the response of emergency services.
Eight hundred volunteers took part in the overnight drill to make it as realistic as possible.
Greater Manchester Police said the event at the Trafford Centre was not linked to any specific terror threat.
Manchester peace activist Dr Erinma Bell criticised the use of a "Muslim terrorist".
She said "a terrorist can be anyone" and "we need to move away from stereotypes".
