May to raise intel leaks issue with Trump

Media reports say the UK has stopped sharing information with the US on the Manchester bombing amid
deteriorating tensions between the two sides over leaked information.

Britain's intelligence services blame their US counterparts for revealing the bomber’s identity and other details of the probe saying the leaks are hampering investigations. The issue is to be raised by British Prime Minister Theresa May during her meeting with US President Donald Trump at a Nato summit in Brussels. She is set to chair a meeting of the country’s emergency committee later Thursday. Britain has widened its probe into the Manchester attack, arresting eight men in connection with the deadly incident.
