United Kingdom police stop sharing Manchester attack info with USA after leaks

In a speech in Brussels before the upcoming North Atlantic Treaty Organisation meeting, US President Donald Trump has described the leaks as "deeply troubling", but they come as the latest in a swathe of information leaked by US intelligence to newspapers under his presidency.

The Trump administration has recently suffered a spate of damaging leaks on numerous issues, including the FBI's investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion with Russian Federation and the president's sharing of sensitive information with foreign leaders. "The leaks of sensitive information pose a grave threat to our national security". Following the release of crime scene photos from the bombing, he has asked for "a complete review" of leaks from US government agencies.

The president is expected to get an earful from May following the apparent leak at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said earlier she would tell Mr Trump that intelligence shared between their two countries had to remain secure, in a rare public show of dissatisfaction with Britain's closest security ally.

"I am asking the Department of Justice and other relevant agencies to launch a complete review of this matter, and if appropriate, the culprit should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law". Though it's unclear if the newspaper obtained the information from USA officials, the story has angered many British officials and distressed the families of the victims.

The decision to stop sharing police information was an extraordinary step for Britain, which is usually at pains to emphasise its "special relationship" with the United States.

"This damage is even greater when it involves unauthorized disclosure of potential evidence in the middle of a major counterterrorism investigation".

The U.K.'s home secretary, Amber Rudd, told the BBC Radio on Wednesday that she found the leaks "irritating" because it could hurt the integrity of the investigation and ultimately "the element of surprise" to catch other suspected terrorists. He met with European Union officials earlier in the day to discuss issues such as climate change and trade.

Monday's attack was claimed by the Islamic State group.

His father Ramadan and younger brother Hashem have been detained in Libya, with officials there saying the brother was aware of the planned attack.

This latest arrest brings the total number to 10 since the attack.

"[May they be] victorious against the infidels", he added. Two arrests were made Thursday in and around Manchester. Another 116 people were wounded, with at least 12 children suffering from significant injuries.

The bomb used in the blast - which killed 22 people and injured dozens more - allegedly used TATP, the same explosive employed by ISIS extremists in the 2015 Paris attacks and March 2016 carnage in Brussels. A few tributes to victims have been posted on the Greater Manchester police's Twitter page.
