British authorities have been particularly incensed by reports originating with U.S. officials. On Thursday, the BBC reported that British officials have decided to stop sharing information about the Manchester investigation with their American counterparts. But even amid the crackdown, British authorities acknowledged that they remain vulnerable to a follow-up attack. It was unclear whether investigators believed that Abedi’s relatives were a key part of the network planning the Manchester attack. “The horrific atrocity that occurred in Manchester on Monday night has shocked us all,” said Fawzi Haffar, a trustee with the Manchester Islamic Center, also known as the Didsbury Mosque.
