It’s terrible, it’s hard to believe it.” In Manchester, north-west England, feelings were still raw following Salman Abedi’s attack on a concert by US pop star Ariana Grande — especially so as the bomber was born in the city. Anger at US leaks But amid the grief, British authorities were left “furious” by repeated leaks of material shared with their US counterparts, providing an awkward backdrop for Prime Minister Theresa May’s meeting with US President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Brussels later Thursday.

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said Abedi had “likely” been to Syria after the trip to Libya, citing information provided by British intelligence services to their counterparts in Paris.
