Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May says she will raise the issue of leaks from a probe into the Manchester terror attack that have infuriated British authorities with their US counterparts.

Speaking ahead of her departure for a NATO summit in Brussels, May says she would “make clear to US President (Donald) Trump that intelligence which is shared between our law enforcement agencies must remain secure.”

May also says in televised comments that the terror threat level would remain at “critical” — the maximum level — after being raised on Tuesday following the attack in which 22 people were killed.
