ANI New York [U.S.]

United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May said she would raise leaks of crucial intelligence about the Manchester bomb attack with the United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump as they meet at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium.

"I will make clear to President Trump that intelligence that is shared between our law enforcement agencies must remain secure," CNN quoted May as saying, following a cabinet-level security meeting in Westminster.

UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the Intelligence leaks were 'irritating' and has damaged investigation.

He added," The cooperation between the US and the UK on intelligence matters is crucial for security around the world, so we can't see both sides pulling away."

 

British lawmakers and officials were infuriated over the leaks of forensic photographs of sophisticated bomb parts related to Manchester bombing that UK authorities fear could complicate the ongoing investigation.

New York Times posted photographs that revealed about the device that could be the detonator, a battery, nuts and screws for shrapnel and fragments of a backpack that killed 22 people used by suicide bomber Salman Abedi .

Britain's National Police Chiefs' Council has warned that leaks of potential evidence "undermine our investigations.
