INNOCENTS: THE DEVICE
Rudd in a fury over US leaks
THE terrorist bomb that claimed 22 innocent lives was built by someone with a “deep knowledge” of explosives, experts believe.
LABEL Believed to come from Abedi’s rucksack AMBER Rudd slammed US spooks for repeatedly leaking details of the Manchester bombing.
The Home Secretary said it was “irritating” that information passed to the US Government by MI5 appeared in American media.
Police were angry when US media revealed the bomber’s name on Tuesday while the authorities here were still trying to arrest his associates. British media had been asked not to identify Salman Abedi.
Ms Rudd said: “I have been very clear with our friends that that should not happen again.” But NBC News yesterday cited US intelligence sources in a report that Abedi’s family had warned security officials in the past that he may be “dangerous”. ANGRY Rudd
