Ian Hopkins, the Chief of Police in Manchester, announced on Thursday that searches of certain homes in the city have provided valuable information and materials regarding the recent suicide bombing operation. Mr. Hopkins stated on Thursday, June 4, that the eight suspects arrested so far in connection with the operation in Manchester were a 'significant' achievement and added that the searches would continue for several more days. The Associated Press reported that one of the detainees, Ismail, is the brother of Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber responsible for the explosion. In this bombing, which occurred outside a concert by American pop singer Ariana Grande, 22 people were killed and dozens more were injured. Queen Elizabeth II also visited injured children from the incident and their families in one of Manchester's hospitals on Thursday. The Queen described the Manchester incident as 'horrific and very cruel.' Twelve of the injured from the Manchester bombing are teenagers under the age of 16. On the other hand, the leak of some information related to the police investigation into this incident in American media has drawn criticism from British officials. Theresa May, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has promised to raise this issue in her meeting with Donald Trump, the President of the United States. Reuters reported, citing a British security official, that the UK has halted sharing information about the Manchester incident with the US due to the leak of some of this information to the media. Earlier, the New York Times published several photos possibly related to the explosion in Manchester, although it cannot yet be confirmed that these images were provided to the newspaper by American security and intelligence forces.
