British police said Thursday they had resumed sharing intelligence about the Manchester bombing with U.S. authorities, despite concern about leaks by overseas intelligence sources. Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said British officials had received fresh assurances about stopping the unauthorized sharing of information. British authorities earlier expressed widespread outrage over leaks by overseas intelligence sources, saying they had caused great "distress" to those affected by the Manchester terrorist attack. Manchester police reportedly decided to temporarily stop sharing information on their investigation with the U.S. on Thursday until they received some promise the leaks would stop. Meanwhile, British authorities nearly doubled estimates of the number of people injured in Monday’s bombing at the Manchester Arena at the conclusion of an Ariana Grande concert.
