Ariana Grande to return for Manchester benefit concert

The Prime Minister and the USA president will be in the Belgian capital for a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit, and she is expected to confront him over media leaks regarding the Manchester attack investigation.

Collomb told France’s BFM television Abedi “grew up in Britain and then suddenly, after a trip to Libya and then likely to Syria, became radicalized and chose to carry out this attack”.

Britain routinely shares intelligence with the United States bilaterally, and also as part of the “Five Eyes” network which also includes Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Police hunting the “network” behind his attack said they had made “significant” arrests and seized “very important” items in raids linked to the investigation.

British Home Secretary Amber Rudd said she was “irritated” about the leak.

The Associated Press contributed to the report.

“I will make clear to President Trump that intelligence that is shared between our law enforcement agencies must remain secure”, she said, in reference to an escalating diplomatic row between the United Kingdom and the US.

“When the trust is breached it undermines these relationships, and undermines our investigations and the confidence of victims, witnesses and their family”, the group said.

“The alleged leaks coming out of government agencies are deeply troubling”.

In a White House statement, Trump said that the he would order the US Justice Department to lead an investigation into the matter.

It’s not clear at this time if Salman went to Syria, Dagdoug said.

“The leaks of sensitive information pose a grave threat to our national security”.

“We have strong and close ties with our (British) friends”, he told reporters, reading from a statement.

Eight men have now been detained in Britain connection with Monday’s attack.

On Wednesday morning, an NBC reporter said he had heard from a USA intelligence official that Abedi’s family had warned authorities about him in the past.

Police also raided and searched a property elsewhere in Manchester where Abedi’s brother Ismail is thought to have lived.

Relatives of the British-born bomber are being interrogated by Libyan authorities in Tripoli, where his father Ramadan and teenage brother Hashem were arrested yesterday.

USA media were the first to report 22-year-old British national Salman Abedi was behind the Manchester bomber.

The report said that Abedi did not appear to be on an global terror watch list, which allowed him to travel freely throughout Europe.

Police in Dusseldorf later confirmed that Abedi transited through the airport but remained in a secure zone.

“We were able to calm the young people in the neighbourhoods who felt they were targeted.as Muslims”, he said.

The terrorist behind the Manchester bombing phoned his mother and said “forgive me” before carrying out the attack. The patrols were due to begin immediately. Other forms of cooperation between the two countries will continue, NPR’s Frank Langfitt reports from London.

Hours before the attack, he had phoned his mother and said “forgive me”, according to a Libyan anti-terror official. “Our patrols will be highly visible and passengers should feel comforted by their presence”, Crowther added.
