Flurry of leaks alarms US allies
Current and former senior American officials are growing concerned that a deluge of leaks from the U.S. government will imperil some of the nations most important intelligence-sharing relationships.
The exposure of sensitive forensic information from the U.K.s investigation into the Manchester bombing is unprecedented, some national security experts say and Britain is right to be furious.
They need to find out how this type of information got out. I think it does damage to our capability of sharing intelligence on issues that we have to share intelligence on, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told The Hill.
Prime Minister Theresa May raised the issue at the NATO gathering in Brussels on Thursday evening, vowing beforehand that she would make clear to President Trump that intelligence that is shared between our law enforcement agencies must remain secure.
But the outrage over the Manchester investigation disclosures is only part of a growing international distrust with the U.S.'s ability to safeguard the secrets of its allies, intelligence experts say.
