Somebody over here is spilling info to the media about the Manchester bombing, and the BP is not too happy about it for a number of reasons. I hope we find out who is doing this on our side, not just the information about Manchester but every other freakin' leak that's been going on since Trump came in. I don't care who it is, we need to prosecute the bastards to the fullest extent of the law.
The BBC reported that British police are “furious” because they believe the photos were leaked by U.S. law enforcement, and they’ve stopped sharing information with the U.S. One U.K. official said the leaks were “on another level” and had caused “disbelief and astonishment” throughout the British government.
U.S. officials had already been accused of reveling details like the number of casualties and the identity of bomber Salman Abedi. British Home Secretary Amber Rudd said she was “irritated” that Abedi’s name was made public, and had warned Washington that “it should not happen again.” There were concerns that the leaks may have hampered efforts to track down Abedi’s possible accomplices, and determine how he obtained the bomb.
The nations regularly share information as part of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing agreement. Manchester police reportedly hope to continue sharing information with the U.S. soon.
“We greatly value the important relationships we have with our trusted intelligence, law enforcement and security partners around the world,” the National Counter Terrorism Policing unit of Britain’s National Police Chiefs Council said in a statement. “When that trust is breached it undermines these relationships, and undermines our investigations and the confidence of victims, witnesses and their families.
“This damage is even greater when it involves unauthorized disclosure of potential evidence in the middle of a major counter terrorism investigation,”
