United Kingdom deploys 1000 soldiers to protect key sites after bombing

Due to the tragic events in Manchester, the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost.

The alleged Manchester attacker's father and two brothers have been arrested following the Monday night explosion, authorities said.

Daesh claimed responsibility, Britain's official terror alert was raised to "critical", and hundreds of soldiers were deployed on Wednesday to guard key London sites, including London's Houses of Parliament. "The leaks of sensitive information pose a grave threat to our national security", Trump said in a statement the White House released.

The official said that the prime minister, "expressed the view that the intelligence-sharing relationship we have with the U.S.is hugely important and valuable, but that the information that we share should be kept secure".

Before his arrest, the father told the AP that his son was innocent and had been planning a trip to Saudi Arabia for a pilgrimage.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, told reporters Wednesday he understands the concern about US leaks possibly harming the United Kingdom police operation.

Murray says: "I'm staying with my positivity for Martyn, and that's what I hold on to".

We're thankful for your support in every way.

He said, however, that even if US intelligence sources shared vital information with the media, it likely would not affect the strong intelligence sharing relationship between the USA and Britain because it helps both countries.

British interior minister Amber Rudd said earlier that the bomber had recently returned from Libya.

Abedi also said he was certain his son had not been in Syria.

Officials said all those hospitalized had been identified.

This was highlighted in the 2006 trans-Atlantic liquid bomb plot.

Investigators are now working to determine if suspected bomber, Salman Abedi, was part of a much wider terror network.

A suicide bomber killed 22 people and wounded scores of others minutes after Grande's concert at the Manchester Arena ended on Monday night. Under normal circumstances, he said, Abedi may have been able to travel to the United States because he was from Britain, a visa-waiver country, but he would have been subjected to a background check via the USA government's Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA.

Some news reports indicated that security forces were on the hunt for a second device made by Abedi, which may now be with a member of this network.
