What is interesting about this particular attack...the UK slams down an info wall and yet on the Berlin truck attack killing just ten less and having the same number of injuried the German authorities were open and forthcoming with all information...or in the Paris attacks all information was flowing as fast as the authorities would actually allow it.Originally Posted by davidbfpo
What I think is happening is that it is now forcing the current government to start acknowledging a few facts that are now coming out via social media.....
1. French and German intel had passed on solid information concerning the bomber up to four days before the attacks
2. bomber was on a fly watch list and Turkey correctly and speedily informed UK about his flights out of Trukey before the bombing
3. bomber flies a IS flag in the back of his house
4. bombers family repeatedly warned the police
5. all indications of virtually no security in place when he simply walked into the building when the performance was over....
Just as in the German truck attack red flags were flying literally everywhere but no one connected the dots......
One of the lessons learned in the Canne, Paris and Berlin attacks...you leave all security in major events firmly in place until the last person is out of the event..that did not happen in Manchester....and every bag and bulky clothing is searched....a bomb vest is not a easy thing to look slim in....
I highly suspect that the leaks are coming from UK sources fed up with the tightness and lack of info going to the public ..........
One thing French, German and Brussels authorities have learned..open up all channels of communications to the public and ask for as much help as they can provide...videos...photos...tweets..observations etc....
The failures around the German truck attacker are even played out in public and thus the public has no feeling that the government is not trying to coverup mistakes and is in fact learning from their own mistakes....something the UK is not doing right now....
Example..German investigators had learned about the trucker attacker being involved in drug sales as a finance mechanism....they raided six locations inside Berlin yesterday rolling up 10 major drug dealers and 6 of them were high value jihadist targets....
Ever since that Dec attack German authorities have been raiding and raiding and raiding and arresting along the way....after the London car attack yes you saw some activity but not to the levels seen in Brussels, Paris and Berlin....
What is not leaked and has not been leaked is how did the UK know within virtually the first hour or so of chaos exactly who the bomber was??
BTW...one leaked article about the making of the bomb ...highly professional was the undertone..is now being countered that the bomber made it himself and BTW no professional bomb maker kills himself......
So in fact some leaks were not all that accurate.....
