Non -Ellmen disclosure

The British police stopped sharing information on the progress of the explosion investigation in Manchester with US law enforcement agencies. According to the BBC, citing sources, this is due to a series of leaks in the American media.

Information about the personality of the alleged suicide bilberry Salman Abedi appeared in the American press only 24 hours after the explosion, when these data were kept secret by the British police. In addition, on Wednesday in The New York Times, photographs of evidence from the scene of the explosion were published. The photos captured scraps of a backpack, nuts and bolts, as well as a device identified as a “possible detonator”.

The publication of photographs "caused rage" in the Government of Great Britain, as well as in the British police, notes the BBC. The police believe that this could damage the investigation. The Minister of Internal Affairs, Amber Radd, said that it was "annoyed" by disclosing information, and warned Washington that "this should not be repeated."

At the same time, the British authorities consider it a source of leakage not the White House and the administration of President Donald Trump, but the US law enforcement agencies.

Meanwhile, eight people have already been arrested in the UK in the case of a terrorist attack. In addition, the younger brother Abedi Hash and his father Ramadan were detained in Libya. According to the Libyan authorities, they watched Hamema Abedi for a month and a half due to suspicion of IS's ties. During the interrogation, he admitted that he knew about his brother’s intention to commit an attack, but did not know when and where exactly this would happen.

The explosion on the Manchester Arena occurred on Monday evening during the concert of American singer Ariana Grande. There were about 21 thousand people at the stadium, among whom there were many children. 22 people were killed, including an eight -year -old girl. 119 people were injured. On Wednesday, 64 wounded remained in Manchester hospitals. 20 of them are in critical condition. Among the wounded 12 children under the age of 16.

The Islamic state took responsibility for the terrorist attack. The British Prime Minister Teresa May described the actions of the suicide bomber as a manifestation of "terrifying nauseating cowardice."

On Wednesday, the British police said that a terrorist network worked on the preparation of the explosion in Manchester. “This attack was more difficult to organize than those that we saw before. Most likely, he (terrorist. - Ed.) Acted not alone,” Radd said.

On Wednesday, May announced an increase in the level of a terrorist threat in the country from a “serious” to the maximum “critical”. Along with the police, 3800 troops will patrol the streets of British cities, additional security will be assigned to all key objects of infrastructure and tourist attractions.
