Intel sharing

Well that didn't last long! Britain reopens intelligence sharing with the US less than 24 hours after halting information exchange over a series of leaks from the Manchester bombing

Britain has reopened information-sharing ties with the US again - less than 24 hours after suspending intelligence sharing over leaked evidence from the Manchester bombing.

An extraordinary row erupted between British and US authorities after highly sensitive images of the blood-smeared remnants of attacker Salman Abedi's backpack and a diagram showing precisely where his victims died were handed to the New York Times.

The halting of intelligence sharing with the US happened for what is understood to be the first time. 

It applied only to intelligence related to the Manchester attack.   

Prime Minister Theresa May warned the flagrant breaches were undermining the Special Relationship and 'posed a grave threat to our national security'.
