The French have linked him to IS, much to the annoyance of the British. The US also appears to be bent on fucking up the investigation in their race to get some headline time too.Quote:

The frustration of the security services with the American leaks was obvious on Tuesday, with the leak of the name of the Manchester killer and other details while the investigation was still live.
And on Wednesday Home Secretary Rudd said: “The British police have been very clear that they want to control the flow of information in order to protect operational integrity, the element of surprise. So it is irritating if it gets released from other sources and I have been very clear with our friends that should not happen again.”
The irritation would have turned to despair with the French interior minister, Gerard Collomb, on Wednesday, revealing further details of British intelligence on television. He let it be known not only that Salman Abedi had recently been to Libya, but may also have been in Syria.
The police and security services usually have good reasons for not disclosing information immediately to the media as they accumulate it.
One of the main reasons is that it is helpful when investigating a suspect’s network of family, friends and colleagues not to alert them by disclosing the name. So it was awkward for the police when the Abedi was revealed by US officials in Washington to American journalists two hours before they disclosed it to the UK.
Earlier in the day, the security services had no plans to disclose the name that day and may only have done so because of the Americans.
There are other reasons. They do not to reveal to those they are hunting - and their opponents in general - the extent of the information they hold and, sometimes, the techniques they use for gaining that information.
On a purely practical level, the police would have preferred time searching the home of Abedi and speaking to neighbours without the media descending on the location after the US released the name.
One of the basic tenets of intelligence sharing is that other agencies do not disclose it. The problem is that those intelligence agencies, whether the US or French, pass it upwards to their presidents, prime ministers and departmental ministers. In the past, that secrecy was usually respected.
But in quick succession, Donald Trump revealed to Russia information obtained by Israeli intelligence from a Middle East source, the US revealed UK intelligence about Abedi and now the French have done so too.
The temptation for the UK police and intelligence services would be to stop sharing some of that intelligence. But the UK relies so heavily on sharing of intelligence from the US and also benefits from intelligence, especially on counter-terrorism, from European colleagues such as France and Germany.
As well as certain forums and open-access sites like archive.org (world's premier source of videos of bearded men pointing fingers skywards and ranting) they most often use Telegram. That's where IS released their notice taking responsibility.Quote:

The difference is the Muslims were slaughtered by Western governments.
Trump has just announced his budget; Reductions in foreign aid, environmental issues and domestic welfare but an increase in military spending.
Does anyone think that is the way forward?
If the US or Britain wanted to parley, they could and would.Quote:

Given their propensity for breeding with close relatives, their collective average IQ, already at a low of around 85 will drop even further, and they'll probably commit suicide by various ingenious means, at an ever increasing rate, as well as become less capable of producing viable offspring.
The odds are, that without outside humanitarian aid, they'll become extinct.

^the ameristanis and their vassals provide them with far more.
Where do you suggest you return the British born to? How far back do you go back, 1999, 1945, 1918, 1546, 1215, the birth of your christian saviour?Quote:

Get selling your arse to all and become PM, riches and security until death.
You may wish to investigate the alleged "culprits" background, his father, what the alleged "culprit" and his brothers have been doing in Libya for a number of years. Which "organisations" they have been working for.
You know due diligence or do you wish to purchase the true bones of John the Baptist, I have a few samples left. Guaranteed to protect you from all evil bastards.
Even the UK MSM are now questioning the "Official Story". But of course it doesn't fit your racist views.
It is refreshing to here a clear statement from one of the oranage mans military informing the world of the duplicity of the forked tongued .
Last week we saw a deadly attack on Syrian Government forces in the south of Syria. The local ameristani commander had, allegedly from his senior offices mouth, used his discretion to commit illegal war crimes, both ameristani and as described in the UN charter. The reason for the attack was described as protecting some form of ameristani zone/soldiers inside Syria. The Syrian forces stopped, took a few videos, and then continued on their journey.
Two days ago another ameristani military person, now given carte blanche to act in anyway he desires, by the orange man, gave a press interview.
Russia's no-fly zones in Syria aren't a problem, says US air commander
Russia's no-fly zones in Syria aren't a problem, says US air commander
"The top U.S. general running the air war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria says Russian-declared no-fly zones are not restricting where the U.S.-led coalition can fly its warplanes as it targets the terror group.
"We don't recognize any specific zone in itself that we preclude ourselves from operating in," said Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, commander of U.S. Air Forces Central Command. "Wherever the enemy's at, wherever they present themselves, we're going to get after them."
""This strike should make it clear to all that coalition air power will be used when our ground forces are threatened," Harrigian said."
Ground forces illegally in a foreign country will be targeted. Any other choice is an aberration of the governments elected duties. Possibly the coalition forces inside Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan .......have just committed suicide.
That's not a monkey, that's an ape.Quote:

Gunmen have attacked a bus carrying Coptic Christians in central Egypt, killing at least 23 people and wounding 25 others, state media report.
The bus was heading towards the Monastery of St Samuel the Confessor in Minya province, about 220km (140 miles) south Cairo, when it came under fire. No group immediately said it was behind the attack. But Islamic State (IS) militants have targeted Copts several times in recent months, and vowed to do so again. Two suicide bombings at churches in the northern cities of Alexandria and Tanta on 9 April left 46 people dead.

Will barely get a mention in the Western media of course.
Yep. 23 dead brown folks in Egypt not near as news worthy as 22 in England.Quote:
