WTF? Trump admin leaked the name of the Manchester bomber? [View all]

Just caught it out of the corner of my eye, but I think they just said that the Brits wanted to keep the name of the bomber out of the news so that they could better work on finding out if he had help, or was connected to a larger op, but they had to publish the name because US sources had revealed it.

I hate to make assumptions, but I doubt we would have leaked the name if it sounded like it belonged to a middle age white guy

Edited to add that the Brits probably wanted the name witheld so that the people who potentially helped him wouldn't go underground
