WTF? Trump admin leaked the name of the Manchester bomber?

10. The Brits seem pissed about it

And it would not be unusual for a bomb maker to make several bombs for several people and think...hey they haven't identified the bomber yet so I'm good. More likely though, like the article stated, the law enforcement and counter terrorism folks probably wanted time to search the guys home and question folks in his circle without a media circus.

Who knows how many people in his periphery have started deleting social media info and contacts... even if they are completely innocent.

All that makes the job of policing harder.

Not to mention that the Brits wanted it kept out of the news until THEY were ready to share it. We have no reason to step on their toes, but we did.
