chrystal 1,256 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41283984 Click here to view the Tweet Click here to view the Tweet British Prime Minister Theresa May has rebuked US President Donald Trump for claiming suspects in Friday's London train blast were known to police. "I never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation," she said. Mr Trump described the attackers in a tweet as "loser terrorists" and "sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard". The bomb rocked a London Underground train on Friday, injuring 22 people. At the White House on Friday, Mr Trump described the train attack as "a terrible thing", adding that he planned to call Mrs May "right now". In tweets earlier in the morning, Mr Trump appeared to chide UK authorities: "Must be proactive!" London police said of the US president's remarks that "any speculation is unhelpful". The president's remarks sparked anger on Twitter, where Nick Timothy, a former senior aide to British Prime Minister Theresa May, echoed London police's comments. "True or not - and I'm sure he doesn't know - this is so unhelpful from leader of our ally and intelligence partner," he said.

Click here to view the Tweet In a series of tweets on Friday, the Republican president claimed his administration had "made more progress in the last nine months" against the so-called Islamic State than his predecessor. "Must be proactive & nasty!" he tweeted. Mr Trump also renewed a call to shut down internet capabilities, which he said were a main recruitment tool for terrorists. During the Republican presidential campaign in 2015, Mr Trump suggested he would ask Microsoft founder Bill Gates to cut off the internet because of terror recruitment. "We're losing a lot of people because of the internet," Mr Trump said at the time, without elaborating. "We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening." "We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways," he added. Mr Trump has in the past been accused of reacting to suspected terrorist incidents before the facts are fully known. If he was leaking sensitive information on Friday, and not indulging in pure speculation as London police say, his tweet could amount to a security breach. In May, US officials angered British authorities, when details about a deadly bomb attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester were leaked to American media. The attacker's identity and details of the investigation were revealed in US media before British authorities made the information public, while the New York Times published photographs from the scene, as well as images of the bomb. The president also used Friday's attack to promote his travel ban temporarily barring people from six Muslim-majority countries as well Syrian refugees from entering the US.

Kim Hyolyn 1,509 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well it's true. All of the recent terror attacks carried out in Europe this year were done by Muslim men who were already known to local/ international authorities. I'm sick of people dying and getting hurt during these attacks and our leaders just come out with the same shit abou "unity" and not letting the attacks bring us down, people's stupid hashtags and candle light vigils and those worried more about "islamphobia" than actual terrorist attacks. Europe obviously isn't tackling terrorism as hard as it should be. And ironically no one was saying shit about the FBI when they were leaking information and images about the Manchester and London attacks a couple months ago. It's already public knowledge that we have thousands of Islamic terrorists in England and the police have even admitted its hard to keep a track of them all so it's not as if he's released top secret information.
