RUDD'S FRUSTRATION AT US LEAKS FROM TERROR PROBE Amber Rudd vented her frustration today over US leaks about details of the Manchester terror attacks.

The Home Secretary delivered a rare public rebuke to our close allies by admitting she was 'irritated' by the way 'operational' information had been disclosed.

She said she had made 'very clear' to the US that such leaks 'cannot happen again'.

But the Cabinet minister's warning seems to have fallen on deaf ears - as both American and French officials have been revealing more details about the case.
'The British police have been very clear that they want to control the flow of information in order to protect operational integrity, the element of surprise,' she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. 

'So it is irritating if it gets released from other sources.'I have been very clear with our friends that it should not happen again.'  

HOW SECURITY SERVICES HANDLE RETURNING FIGHTERS
When foreign fighters are detected returning to Britain, security services assess whether they have genuinely repudiated ISIS or remain a hardline fanatic. Where there is clear evidence against the individual in question, they can be prosecuted in the UK.

Foreign nationals can be prevented from coming back into the country, and duel nationals can be stripped of British citizenship.

For UK citizens, there are temporary exclusion orders, which make it unlawful for the subject to return unless they agree to conditions.

Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpims) can be imposed, involving restrictions including relocation and electronic monitoring.

In addition to those returning from jihad, MI5 and police must also deal with the issue of people who have been blocked from going to conflict zones.Around 150 attempted journeys to Iraq and Syria were thwarted in 2015.
