UK to stop sharing intelligence about Manchester attack with US: report

The move is a response to leaks of photos from the crime scene via US intelligence sources.

Britain has stopped sharing information about the police investigation into the Manchester suicide bombing following leaks by U.S. intelligence sources to the media, the BBC reported.

Wednesday night, the New York Times published photos apparently taken by investigators at the crime scene showing fragments of a backpack, pieces of shrapnel and an item that may have been a detonator. The report also revealed information about where some of the victims died and where a torso, believed to be that of the bomber Salman Abedi, was found. An earlier leak Tuesday had revealed Abedi’s name to reporters before it had been disclosed by U.K. police.

Twenty-two people, including children, were killed in the attack along with the Abedi and 59 were injured at the Manchester area at around 10:30 p.m. Monday. The victims were leaving a pop concert.

The U.K. prime minister will fly into Brussels Thursday for her first summit with NATO leaders amid rising tensions at home over the leaks from the police investigation.

There is palpable fury inside Downing Street and from British security services over the quantity of information finding its way into the public domain despite a rare public warning Tuesday from Home Secretary Amber Rudd for the leaks to stop.

The news comes as Israel revealed it had changed the way it shares intelligence with the U.S. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said Wednesday the country had conducted a “spot repair” to the way it discloses information after U.S. President Donald Trump divulged to Russia classified information reportedly obtained from Israel.
