United Kingdom officials 'furious' over U.S. intelligence leaks

The Chelsea soccer team announced it would cancel Sunday's victory parade in London that was to have celebrated the team's Premier League title win this season.

The US operates "in a different world" when it comes to publishing operational details, he added.

A source said British investigators were hunting for anyone who may have helped build the suicide bomb.

Police had followed up on the complaint at the time and visited the house. Neighbours recalled him as a tall, thin young man who often wore traditional Islamic dress and did not talk much.

Greater Manchester Police Chief Ian Hopkins said Friday there is no place for discrimination and hatred in Manchester and urged people to report any incidents.

"It's like your own family just passed away, it's just so, so sad", 69-year-old Carmel McLaughlan told AFP, standing next to the sea of flowers filling the square. He said the man is named Adel and is in his 40s, with a wife and several children.

"They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life", Grande wrote.

"I've always had a pride in this city, ever since I was born", he said.

Mr Rowley told the public: "Enjoy yourselves and be reassured by the greater policing presence you will see". Sir Ian Blair, Metropolitan police commissioner at the time of the 7/7 bombings, said his investigation had also been hampered by United States indiscretions.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, arriving at a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit in Brussels, said the countries' partnership on defense and security was built on trust, but "part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently". He spent 25 years in Britain before returning to Libya in 2011 after Gaddafi was ousted and killed in the civil war. British and other European security officials said they did not believe that Salman Abedi, 22, would have been able to build the explosive device used in Manchester by himself, and they worry that a professional bombmaker may still be at large.

The British Home Office declined Newsweek's request for comment on whether it had made extradition requests for Hashem and Ramadan Abedi. The Times story followed several US news reports disclosing information British police and intelligence officials had chosen to withhold from the press.

UK Interior Minister Amber Rudd said that Abedi had recently returned to the UK from Libya, although she declined to give further details concerning his trip.

She also urged fans to donate to the Manchester Evening News fundraising appeal, which has raised more than £5 million.

The attack was the deadliest in Britain since 2005 when four Islamist suicide bombers attacked London's transport system, killing 52 people. "Many of the people in Manchester, particularly the Islamists, participated in the fighting against Qaddafi and are trying to move back to Libya particularly if they are linked to some powerful figures", he says.

Many of them had serious wounds that will require "very long term care and support in terms of their recovery", Rouse said. The National Health Service said 75 people were hospitalized.

Rudd said up to 3,800 soldiers could be deployed on Britain's streets, taking on guard duties to free up police to focus on patrols and investigation.
